1)      The 180 degree rule is when the camera has to stay on one side of two people having a conversation, so the audience dosent get confused and they stay in the same place so their always on the same side.

A match on action is when the camera focuses on something that is happening such as handing in a letter over to someone and the camera zooming into it.

An eye line match is when two people are having a conversation together and their look right into each others  eyes so their in line.

A shot reverse shot is when a shot goes from one person to another then back again quickly.

We incorporated match on action as the most important shot when I got handed the card of who to kill. We kept the 180 degree rule when me and Jordan were speaking so Rhys kept the camera on the same side as us.

2)      We mainly improvised on the spot as it felt easier than using the storyboard and we found that an easier way was to act it first then film it. We know the college well so found it easy to know where to film.

3)      We learned a lot about video editing as we had never used the programme before so it showed us how to put music on the film and how to put a short clip together so next time we will be able to do more.
