Now that we've established the first draft of our storyboards, it is important to understand the concept of continuity. As explained before, continuity is the flow of separate shots to make one whole scene. Below, I have established of how continuity can be used. Firstly, I have done this with clothing.
Clothing is essential, as it would need to give off the feeling that scenes are following on from one place to another. For example, Josh (Will) is doing two separate scenes, where he is looking at his phone, on the way to go see his mates at football. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that to give the impression that the scene where he texting, and the scene where he going off to play football, all happens on the same day. The way of doing that is to keep the same clothing on, to make it seems that he didn't change when he is playing football, and therefore, may not have anywhere safe to keep his phone besides in his pocket (unfortunately, he didn't think of putting the next to the goal with all the coats and accessories, but that is his fault). So in briefer terms, although there is a different locations used in two different scenes, we used clothing to ensure that the scenes occur on the same day.
Also, another example of continuity is when Rachel is running up the stairs, and slams the door shut, whilst wearing the red coat. We then go to a different shot where she enters the bathroom, confused and staring at the pills. In both shots, we have Rachel wear the same red coat and the same clothing, so it represents that the scenes are happening close to each other in time, and therefore, continuous.
