You think Continuity isn’t cool ?
Check out this blog by Script Supervisor Sabi Paisa. Try and watch these clips without reading her text first and see if you can beat the tests she’s got there.
It’s a very scientific approach to something that’s normally considered a more mundane vocation.
Pretty fun exercise. Thanks for posting.
i am an editor and yeah… strangely I suck for continuity. Actually, being an editor means you need to be focused like an audience will be. I felt something was strange on the cuts of the film but couldnt spot why.Maybe it was the nonsense dialog that I could blame for the jarring cuts but in the end I think I would have spotted them. The FOF field of focus is quite narrow ona screen. We tend to focus on lips and eyes.
Thanks for sharing John. I have only been scripty for a few short films and want to become more professional with it all, so this sort of thing is right up my alley. Another good one is Benedict Paxton-Crick’s Continuity 101, http://www.thatcontinuityguy.com/continuity101
