Continuity And Its Importance In Film

   As for our final project this semester we are being judged on our continuity when we create our monsters/characters, so to put us to the test we was told to create something on our partner whether that be a bruise, black eye, dark lip, or even an eyeshadow look just something small to get us to learn about the importance of continuity especially in film or TV.
   In this lesson I chose to create a bruise of the forearm of my partner by using my aqua colour by Kryolan. I started off by stippling on different colours, layering up as I go along until I had reached my desired intensity of the colours and shape, then wiped it off and repeated my process. As you can see my second attempt at my bruise looks nothing like my first bruise and this is because I won't looking at my original image as much as I should have when recreating this. Hopefully after much practice on my model when it comes to my second final outcome my continuity will have improved quite a bit in that you won't be able to tell the difference between the first and second exam image.
