A shot-reverse-shot is when the recording shows both shots of when person A looks at person B, then when person B loos at person A.

Describe how you incorporated (the shots above) into your final film.

180 degree shot- We made sure that during the opening scene of the film when our character was opening their book to reveal a note, we flipped to an over the shoulder shot to show the audience the note, when we flipped to an over the shoulder shot we made sure we used the same angle and side to avoid breaking the 180 degree.

Match on Action- We used this shot when we swapped the angle of the shot and replayed the action of taking the note out of the book. This was just after our character discovered the note.

Eye line shot- This shot is used when the two character meet upon the passing of the note, this is toward the end of the film.

Shot-reverse shot- We failed to make a shot-reverse shot. However we fully understood what this shot involved.

How did film making process go, in terms of filming shots from the storyboard and filming around the college?

The film process was overall easier than expected as we had all the resources needed for our film e.g an appropriate setting. However, the problem we did encounter was having people (unplanned) walking in/ out of our shots causing us to have to re-do some shots.

What did you learn about the video editing on Adobe Premier?

I have learnt that Adobe Premier is a video editing resource that allows multiple adjustments to be made to a film, it offers many options e.g. lots of font choices and has the resources to make a more complex edit of a film. This means that Adobe Premier has the potential to create an complex and professional shot.
