Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?(3/3)

In my preliminary task there was a scene where the camera switches from looking over one shoulder of a character to the other, thus changing the area of the 180º rule. After reviewing the footage, I decided that there was no need for this shot and that it made the conversation slow down to an unrealistic pace, taking away verisimilitude from my film. I later decided that I should be wiser when choosing when to use certain more advanced shots in my main task.

In my two minute introduction to a film, I used a similar shot that moved from one side of a character to the other, changing the area of the 180º rule. This time, I was sure that this shot would look good in my film. I feel that this shot makes the scene more interesting to watch, capturing each section of action from the skateboarder.
