In this scene, originally the match on action had Sam taking the sleeve off the ready meal in a mid shot, and then stabbing the film in a close up. We filmed the close up before the mid shot because we thought that you would be able to see any holes we had made more clearly in a close up, and they would not be as obvious when we then filmed in the mid shot. However, when we edited the clips together you could clearly see a hole in the ready meal before we have seen Sam stab through the film.
To get around this issue, I cut the mid shot slightly earlier, so that you do not see Sam completely remove the packaging from the ready meal.
This means that the close up has to begin slightly earlier, but makes a smoother match on action transition between these two shots, and removes the minor continuity error that we had encountered.
