Practice continuity task

Our task for our group was to create a scene with a small plot ( mainly beening a conversation ) and film it using shot reverse shot when needed.
In my opinion, the acting was adequate, however, as I would rather not prefer to undertake the important role of acting i decided to to get behind the camera and film for this task. I found it particularly enjoyable although the outcome was poor. Our opening started great with a good long shot and smooth cuts and close ups. However when it came to the shot reverse shot scene I made a huge mistake by breaking the 180 degree rule. From this i have learnt how to avoid breaking this important rule. We managed to work well together even with a member missing. We practiced each shot and then took the real take.
The editing and sound were well constructed and it was clear to hear what the actor and actress were saying. There were also fades at the start and end of the scene which helped it flow and made it look alot neater.

They video for this will be up shortly
