We did this in class and it was a group effort. We decided to focus less on what we included and more on the detail, for example we focused more on cutting by practising shot reverse shot cut. Particularly at the door handle where the main character opened the door in the corridor and the shot changed to her opening the door in the classroom with accurate continuity.
We also used the rule of 180 which is when two characters are having a conversation you have to stay on one side of the line we exercised this at the point when the student and teacher are talking about her attendance.
We used shots like over-the-shoulder shots and close up to show different perspectives. We also included a zoom at the end which despite being unconventional and uncommonly used by most good film makers but we used it to focus on our characters expressions and emotions. This was also put in to lighten the mood and make it more of a funny thing for the audience to watch. this was just the preliminary task and we wont be making our actual one a comedy although it is possible it might have some funny moments in it.
In the end we like our preliminary although the acting is questionable the editing was good and we were pleased with how it turned out. It also gave us a great trial for when we are filming our real because it helped us manage our time and think about all the things that need to be included.
