For the first part of the Media As course we have been separated into groups of the teachers choice. For this task i have been partnered with Chiway and Luke Robinson, for our continuity piece me and my group decided to re-enact a teacher giving a student a progress report which later you see doesn't end as well as it could have. we had decided to use a general class room for this piece of filming as it enabled us to have the different camera angles we desired.
Our brief stated that we had to use the following as part of the short film we devised where;

Match on action;- This was used as we showed the process of Luke walking towards the door and then matching this action with a close-up of him opening the door.

Shot reverse shot;- This was effectively used by changing the camera from one person to another whilst in the motion of a conversation. This was an ideal time to use it as it cemented the conversation together and showed the relationship with the two characters. we did this by positioning the camera over the shoulder of both me and Luke and therefore got a better prospective and also keeping to the 180 degree rule.

However, when we approached the stage of editing the video together i found that we had a numerous amount of problems, the first being jumps from different segments of filming. This resulted in Luke's position jolting side wards and looking extremely unprofessional. The second problem that occurred was a similar situation although it was slightly less recognizable, this could have been overcome by filming a couple of seconds more on each segment so that in the editing process we could cut unwanted film but make the film flow more naturally.
