For this exercise, we had to film a sequence of shots to portray the story of a person waiting for their friend, until their arrival, where they carry out a conversation before leaving together. On our first attempt the lighting was too bright therefore we were forced to reshoot.
On our second attempt we perfected the lighting and continuity issues (by means of making sure that when the friends left together they were on the same side throughout). I believe that although we didn't achieve 'seamless editing' in all of the shots, some transitions between clips were pretty smooth. Other things that I believe made our composition exercise successful were the headroom, lead room and rule of thirds.
When we were considering the headroom, we had to take into account that both of our actor's were of different heights which made it slightly trickier to make sure that we had both of them in the shot without chopping off their heads but without giving too much space(which would draw attention away from the conversation), but we feel we achieved this perfectly.
When we looked back upon our film as we got to the editing stage we noticed that in a couple of shots, it looked like there was too much lead room which couldn't be helped because we were panning the actor walking into the scene and back out again.
Finally, with regards to the rule of thirds, we believe that we achieved this successfully as we always made sure that the characters weren't situated in the middle of the screen, they were slightly towards the right or left, looking towards the middle and away from the camera.
