The task's aim was to create various shots including: match on action, eye line match, shot/reverse shot and to maintain the 180 degree rule. We chose to follow a simple story-line of a mysterious package exchange in order to include every shot. Previous work lacked the use of every shot due to poor planning of a complicated plot.
Our best shots were the match-on-action shots during the first 20 seconds. The shots switched between a high angle shot inside the classroom outlooking the corridor, to the corridor to view Sophie approaching the door, and then finally a close up shot of her entering the door in the classroom. Instead of following her movement entirely with the camera, we continued the action of approaching the chair in the next shot. This made the action flow smoothly to represent a passing of time. However, we should have used a dissolve instead because it was only a short period of time. The next use of the match-on-action is used during the exchange of money which was included to dramatise the action.
To begin, we used a short master shot to set the start of the conversation. When Rebecca began speaking we used a shot/reverse shot to allow the audience to identify with both speakers. The shot itself was effective but the sound ruined the fluidity of the editing because filming each shot separately ruined the natural flow of conversation. Before the exchange, we used an eye-line match between Sophie and the package to associate the two and make the audience feel wary. Again, we could have used a dissolve to link the two together even more and to suit the very short time that has passed. Overall, our use of the shots were effective and we maintained the 180 degree rule throughout however improved sound quality would have improved the quality.
