In the editing process we all took turns in editing, so i had a go at editing our footage. I also helped some of my group that was new to using apple mac computers, and gave views on what i thought look good or didn't work well.
We met the brief by making sure that we had a person that walked through the door and sat down at the beginning of the scene. Then we used shot reverse shot when the two characters where talking whilst using the 180 degree rule, for example when the characters are sitting on the chairs and are greeting each other then getting into a conversation. Then we used match-on-action when the characters where moving about for example when the the character Samuel walks through the door.
Most of the editing worked well from where the clips went well together, the only thing that didn't go to plan was that we had too much footage once editing all together so we had to cut most of the clips shorter. When we were filming we got all of the shots we planned but made them a bit more creative to make the clips more interesting. The planning also gave us a guide line on what we where supposed to be filming so it helped us get everything together.

Prelim Filming
We chose our location for filming because the sixth form common room related back to the age of the characters, which is around 16 - 18, and that they are still in education. Therefore it will suit the scene that the conversation will set place.
We used the 180 degree rule when filming the clips by making sure the camera stayed on one side of the actor, so it seemed like the characters stayed in the same place. We then used match-on-action when the first actor entered through the door and sat down,when the second actor stood up and finally when the first actor got punched in the face and fell on the floor.
As we went along we adapted our original shot types and angle to have a better effect on the scene. We also shared the sixth form common room with another group, so when important scenes were being shot the other group stayed quiet for us while we shot it and we done the same for them. The way our script was read it stay's the same, we also had to use props such as a hat and jacket to make one of the characters look like a boy, from where one of our group members was away and we also used a phone as a prop.

Prelim Task
Our Prelim will entail someone walking through a door, sitting down, and then having a conversation which will end with one of the characters leaving.
We must demonstrate 180 degrees rule, making sure we don't go on the other side of the characters other wise it will look like the characters are on the same side. The other rule we have to demonstrate is the match-on-action shot, showing the action carrying on in a different shot so it makes sense.
Our initial idea is that there are two boys called Steven and Samuel, who are best friends. It is set in a school in the sixth form common area, Steven finds out that his friend Samuel is texting his girlfriend and Samuel tries to say it is harmless texting. Steven then gets angry and Samuel tries to get out of the situation by telling him he is going, which ends up with Samuel getting punched in the face by Steven and then Samuel walks off.
