Shooting The Continuity Scene

Me and my fantastic group members Sinead and Naadhirah worked on a storyboard too conduct a continuity scene that was 45 seconds long, based on our understanding of the 180 degree rule.
We had to show the exchange of an item between the characters and a reaction shot.
We (Me, Naadhirah and Sinead)has created a 12 boxed story board on what our continuity scene was going to be about. We then had the pleasure of using a ten pence piece to choose who was going to become the camera woman and shoot the scenes, the other two unfortunates had to take part in the film and become the actors.
The story was based on two people walking towards each other, meeting then exchanging a few words ("over the shoulder shots" here) and then exchanging money for a "Dip Dab". This was meant to add a slight amount of humour, as we tried to sequence the film so that it looked as if what was going to be exchanged would be something more dangerous, such as alcohol or a different kind of powder rather than sherbet.
After the exchange has taken place the Characters acknowledge each other and then walk their separate ways.


I underestimated the amount of time that it would take to film this scene, as it looks eaier than it actually is for the shots to come together and look perfectly fine as we were not using editing for these scenes. Especially as the location of our scene was in the college corridors so it was quite difficult to shoot as everyone was walking up and down the corridors and wants to be caught on the camera (which happenes to be very annoying)even more annoying that we had to wait for someone who was not even staring in the shots to move.

As this was our first time that we were shooting something that had complete relevance to our lives, i think that my group did very well.
