Preliminary task (PRACTICE)

Throughout this task, we had to make a short film revolving around a character entering through a door and then sitting down in a chair across from another character. To get to the chair, the first person had to travel over the room, and then exchange a few lines with the other.
The video needed to include match-on-action shots, shot/reverse/shot, and the 180 degree rule in some way, shape or form.
Also, the video had to be edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and the casting, filming and set up process had to be done in the space of 2-3 hours.

The 180 degree rule:
This rule states that the camera should never go more than a semicircle around the action. If two characters were facing each other, you would only film from one side and wouldn't film from the opposite side. If you did swap sides, it may make the characters look as if they are facing in the same way, which would be confusing.

Match-on-action:
This is when you film a character whilst they are doing an action, from two or more perspectives. For example, if they were kicking a football, you could primarily see them lining up the ball from their back, and then kicking the ball from the front. It is only considered Match-on-Action if the two shots flow from one to another. 

Shot/Reverse/Shot:
This is when you film an interaction from two perspectives, with each one focusing on each person's face while they speak. After editing, the shots would be spliced together so that when a person is speaking, it shows their face. 

How it went:
Overall, it went quite well! I worked with Noah, Jordan and Wendy. Noah and Jordan wrote and Noah made the storyboard. I assisted all round and Wendy directed, with Noah as the cameraman. Wendy did a good job with the direction and we got all of the shots done within roughly an hour and 20 minutes. The setting was very convenient, however, it was a rather small room and we struggled with the size of the room. This was the main issue about the scene, as it made it difficult to film in the small space. 
Moreover, the equipment was successfully used, but the editing was very annoying. As a whole, the group lacked experience with the software, so it was rather difficult to finish the scene. After a lot of struggling, we finally got the editing to work and it overall went well. 
 
If you had the chance to do this task again, what would you change or do better?
If we were to do this take again, i would only change a few things: I would find it much easier to film in an area with more space, as it was rather restricting. We could find a larger office setting which would work better instead. Here is the final piece:
