preliminary exercise

In my preliminary exercise we shown someone walking across a hallway, through a door and sitting down and having a conversation with another person. We took many shots in order to be able to piece together a continuous scene. I used match on action on the handle of the door when being opened.  During the conversation between the two of us, I used shot reverse shot to make it clear to the audience of who is talking to who and what is going on. Whilst doing the shot reverse shot I followed the 180 degree rule to not confuse viewers.
I think I pieced together the shots well but it could have been better in places. This could have been improved by taking more shots during the filming so that there was more to choose from when piecing it all together. The way in which the conversation was filmed went well, following the 180 degree rule and managed to do over the shoulder shots.
It could have gone better if the continuity of the shots ran smoother so it didn't look as messy. This would have made it look a lot more professional than it does. Some of the shots should also have been filmed at the same levels so it helped with the exercise running more smooth.
