Continuity concerns

In my original piece I had considerable concerns that the continuity could be seen an poor due the narrative scene with the fire at night being followed directly by a scene in the day time.

I have personally been given a strong set of ideas to counter this problem. Firstly, In order for this to work, it needs to be clear that the fire scene is chronologically implied to be before the church scene which takes place the next day when it is bright outside. The best way to show this is by having something in the fire scene change the physical appearance the main character in the next scene. Indicating that the fire scene recently happened in the narrative.

Strong suggestions Include:

  • Having the Main Character cut himself on the broken whiskey bottle shards
  • Having the Main Character burn himself while burning the photos
Both are highly valid and can easily be shot within the same film recording.
