Today, we filmed a short conversation observing the continuity editing rules.
First, we saw a slide show with some video clips in it to get an understanding what the different kinds of shots are. Then, we divided into groups to film the conversation following the rules.
The group includes Julien, Jeffrey and me. Julian and I serve as actors.
Our filming location was at the third floor courtyard lockers area. We chose that place as our filming location becasue, conviniently, there was an orange line already drawn on the floor, so when Jeffrey films it, he could film from any location and take as many angles as he can and at the same time, be confident that he has closely followed the 180 degree rule.
We did not have a lot of time to do the filming as there was only about 25 minutes left after all the camera borrowing and the hustling in the class room. After those 25 minutes, people will start to pour out of classrooms and it would make filming very unconvinient. Luckily, we finished filming in time and worked well together and managed to film everything with the 25 minutes.
Afterwards, we stayed for 20 minutes into lunch to do the editing, but I did not get a chance to do much editing, because I had to leave to see my PP supervisor.

In this lesson, we learned some skills for continuity editing, and I thought that I have contributed to some ideas to filming angles. Although we did not communicate necessarily in another language, but I think we have done so in different forms. We knew our angles, and we also know how to edit it. We worked effectively and collaboratively with each others, listening to each other's comments and planning it well before filming.
