Personally, I created a sense of realism and kept the continuity correct by using the 180 degree rule during the shot reverse shot scene where Jamie (student) and Laurel (teacher) are talking. I placed the camera to the left shoulder of Laurel and then the right shoulder of Jamie. This followed the 180 degree rule and using the over the shoulder shot created a sense of point of view within the sequence which allowed the audience to see the characters in a realistic style. This scene helped complete one of the task within the brief 'to correctly use the 180 degree rule' and therefore was a vital part of our sequence.
Contrary to this, the scene had to be cut short to fit the 1 minute that was permitted for our task. This made the scene seem very rushed and time wasn't allowed for the dialogue that i would've liked to include, such as a more detailed explanation from the student character.
I think we completed all necessary tasks to make this prelim successful and create the mood that was desired, urgency and desperation, using the parallel editing and climatic music that represented stress.
I would like to see this illustrated why not use some stills to show 180 match on etc. Again greater use of terms needed
