Looking back at my preliminary and comparing it to my final task it is easy to see where completing my preliminary task has helped in creating my final task.
Firstly the 180 degree rule; where two or more characters in the same scene keep the same left/right relationship throughout the shot. In my preliminary task I incorporated this in the shots in which Bart and I had a conversation. I used this in my final task as in the shots of the group in the warehouse keep the same left/right relationship.

Secondly, match on action; where the shot cuts fromone angle to another following the action from the first shot. I incorporated this in my preliminary task when I walk through the door from behind and then from the front. In my final task I ensured this rule was followed as there are shots from different times in the day and I have used match on action as the whole group are wearing the same clothes through out the film.
