Diary Post- Filming the preliminary task

In a group of three, me and two others began to shoot for our preliminary task. In doing so we had to use the match on action shot and the shot reverse shot. I realised that to achieve these well you'll need to shoot for a longer time than you think. For example when shooting someone going through a door, you need them to finish the action, as in open the door and close it, even if you're not going to show them closing it. This is because when editing you need the second shot of them opening the door from the other side to match at the right time, so it doesn't look like the door has opened again. The quality of the film was good however the sound could have been improved on. It was difficult with other people in the background so we would have to wait a lot; a school isn't a good place to shoot. I think we got just enough shots for the time we had but it would've been useful if we filmed more.
