Throughout our AS project we realised how important continuity is because you never know if you will need to re-do any shots and the actors costumes, the location all needs to be the same to ensure quality.
This helped us when filming our A2 short film because we already knew before shooting that we needed to take photographs before each take of the actors to ensure quality if we had to redo the shot. This means that their costume would be the same whether that meant their jacket was on or off, even their facial hair needed to be the same length for one of our actors case. We had to tell him to not shave his beard off even after finishing shooting, that he grew especially for the part, incase we weren't happy with the footage he was in, otherwise that could have jeopardised the quality and realism of our film. Fortunately, the shots were all successful.
Below are some of the continuity shots we took of each actor/actress before their scene:
