Prelimanary Task

Task:
This was what you had to do

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, 

crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then 

exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, 

shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. 

and identify a couple of mistakes and how they could have been improved.

The character which is  coming up the stairs is seen preform a match of actions he reaches the door to open the door the camera switches to a shot from within the room, we see the door and the character enter the room, however he falls out as the camera pans across the room. The motion of opening the door doesnt 'match' and therefore the match on action doesn't seem to work. perhaps making the shot from within the room come in sooner, making it seem more realistic.

As for the shot reverse shot it seems like there seems to be a delayed with between the two
