Prelim

This is my preliminary task. The task was to show someone opening a door and walking into a room with a match on action before crossing the room, sitting down and having a short conversation with the person opposite them. I think I managed the match on action well as well as the rest of the editing and it mostly looks quite smooth. However, the shot/reverse shot of the conversation doesn't look quite right. I believe this is because I broke the 180 degree rule which is illustrated here: 

The sound is also not perfect. There is a hiss of unwanted ambient noise in the background and the levels vary between shots. This is because I was using an on-camera microphone. In terms of the environment, I was in a narrow room with lots of carpeting, so this would be as good as it gets. Therefore, when I record in less suitable environments with worse acoustics and more ambient noise, I need to make sure that I am using a suitable microphone that will record good sound.
