Ever since we showed our first draft to the class we have been touching up the editing making sure that it is smooth and no cuts are obvious. Continuity editing is important when telling a story through the footage, if it fades in out then the edits can be a little more spaced but when together the scenes need to match each other in order for them to tell the story. Our sequence needs the continuity editing to be perfect in the shot with the stalker. As the stalker disappears after grabbing the main character we need the shot to zoom out from before but match the other shot. I spent a while trying to get this as accurate as I could and I think I did a good job. Together, as a group, we watched this scene over until we were satisfied with the end result.
We decided early on that we would be using mostly continuity editing but we have used some establishing shots of the hallway and media room so the audience can see where the character is in more detail. As our opening focuses on only one character we had no reason to use parallel edits or a montage as we are simply following the character where ever she goes.
