How we incorporated required elements in to our preliminary task (Jonny)

The requirements for our preliminary task were as follows;  To film a character opening a door, crossing a room, sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he exchanges a couple of lines. We were asked to demonstrate shot-reverse-shot, match on action, and the 180 degrees rule. It was important that we incorporated these in to our piece as the task was marked on our ability to follow instructions by representing our basic filming knowledge in this short piece. We first went about discussing how we would fit these requirements in to our piece by deciding on a basic story line and where the different angles could fit in. we then represented this on a basic story board with arrows and annotations representing camera angles and movements. The story line involved a conversation at a table on the sixth form balcony, we chose this as it was easy to incorporate a door and a conversation would look normal in the scene. As all the angles had been drawn out we just followed the instructions on the story board. Once the filming was finished we then edited the piece to a high standard an inserted any titles that were needed.
