Our main objective for this side of the project was to work on our continuity and try and make our design twice and make them exactly the same. In film and TV the idea of continuity is very important, it simply makes the piece look more professional. Some of the most well known films have obviously struggled with this idea in the past. There are obviously many elements of continuity, our main focus was costume/the hair and make up though. The way I had done this was take photos at every stage when creating it the first time so it was really easy for me to look back into my work and see what I had done and then recreate it. Although I obviously think the hair and make up continuity is a really important aspect of it all I also find one of the key things would be the actor them self; they would have to consistently be in this character otherwise the whole show wouldn't flow as well as it should.
Here are some examples of poor continuity in films:
HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
FRIENDS
COMMANDO
AMERICAN PIE
All of these mistakes were easily avoidable just but taking photos or making simple notes or even just briefly looking back at the previous scene to refresh your memory - it can make the best film look slightly unprofessional.
