Prelimanary shot/reverse shot.

My job in this exercise, was to do part of the camera work so whilst filmin, during the dialogue sequence, i made sure i stayed on one side for the 180 degree rule and always made sure that the characters were in the correct position for continuity whilst filming so, there would be no confusion for the audience.

to keep them in the correct position we always checked back to see where they were originally to make sure that they were in certian positions, so we could move them back. also we checked where the second character would be so that he also wasn't out of place. We sometimes put markers on the floor to make sure  they knew where they were first off, and it was easier and saved more time than having to check back constantly through the footage of what we had done, as some of the footage was not not used, so we had to keep trying different methods to try and match the dialogue sequence up.

So as jake entered throught th door and the music faded out we placed dom in a certian position to make an establishing shot. jake then walked into view of the camera starting an over the shoulder shot and staring the dialogue. Once dom had said his first line, we cut scened it to the next point which was over doms shoulder, and kept jake in the same position to make sure we didn't arouse confusion in the audience.

overall i believe we did well, checking what we had done and trying to make more time of what we had. it made the exercise easier and more fun, but more importantly made it work better. also it made things alot easier to understand in the movie as it made sense, excluding some moments where the characters are probably a little bit out of place with the way they look or are positioned with there body.
