Practice filming task

To further prepare us for our coursework, we were given another task in our groups involving actual filming of a short clip and editing.

We were given a sequence...
1) person A walks up to a door
2) handle is opened
3) shot of person A walking through the door
4) shot of person B sat down
5) shot of person A sitting down next to them
6) shot of person A asking person B if they are ok
7) reverse shot(cu)of person B replying
8) two shot of person A and B- person A asks person B a question
9) shot of persons A's reaction
10) shots of person B's responce
11) conversation develops...
12) shot of person A getting up
13) shot of person A walking away
14) (possible)shot of person B
15) person A exits through the same door as entrance.

This was to be filmed and edited in one lesson without breaking the 180 degree rule.

Overall i feel this task could have gone better, although we managed to film all the required shots the editing process did not go so well. Once we had uploaded the clip onto the programme the sound was out of sync with the picture, this made the editing process very difficult and we did not manage to finish the task. If i were to do this task again i would shoot quicker leaving more time to edit and sort out any issues there may be. As a task i though it was usefull in familiarising us with the equipment we will be using and shooting to a schedual.
