Editing 6/02/2013

Today as i was watching through the introduction I noticed a continuity error where a prop was used in one clip but not the clip that followed. In the first clip the actor is standing to the right of the screen then in the next clip is changes to him teaching from the left and then returning to the right side in the 3rd clip.
Actor to the right of the screen.
Actor to the left of the screen.






















I decided that I wanted to try and change this making it less obvious so I used the 'Flop' effect within the perspective effects folder to flip the clip which made the actor stand on the right side.


From making this improvement and overcoming one issue, another issue arose. I realised that the writing on the powerpoint in this flipped clip would be backwards and noticeable to the audience. The only way that would overcome this issue would be to make the clip bigger and take up more of the screen, I used 'image+wireframe' and then zoomed into the clip so that the words in the powerpoint are not seen.


This has now overcome two issues but there is yet another issue I noticed. In the first clip the actor has a prop in his hand and when it changes to the next shot, the prop is not there. This is another continuety error which I need to over come. I could accept this error or try to add another shot between the two clips which would in theory give the actor a chance to move the prop between hands. I added in a shot of the audience to break up these two shots and it seemed to work.
