Continuity editing exercise

What scenario were you asked to work to?
We were asked to create a shot film where someone would enter a room sit (or stand) opposite someone and have a small conversation about anything you want.
Our idea is a date gone wrong the girl is trying to kidnap the boy, but the annoying friend gets involved and the plan starts to crumble the girl gets a phone call and she is told to return home she refuses and gets angry, the boy begins to worry resulting in him leaving before she has a chance to kidnap him.
What were the key media language skills you were tying to demonstrate?
In the film we made we had to make sure we had the 180 degree rule,the rule of thirds and match on action.  The 180 degree rule when you have an imaginary line running through the people your filming and you cant cross that line otherwise it will look like the people on camera are moving when there not.  The rule of thirds is then the peoples eyes are on 1/3 of the way down the screen.  This is used in filming and photography,  this just makes whatever your filming look better.  And lastly match on action is when you film something and you carry it through to the next shot, for example when you walk through a door you would have them walking up to and opening the door and then in the next shot you would have them walking through the door.
Who did you work with to plan your film?
At first our group consisted of one other person; Nisha, but half way through story boarding Aarun joined our group, and helped complete our storyboard and added to the story.  This helped use to create something unique as e wasnt here from the start and had a fresh look on things. 
How successful was this grouping?
We all worked together really well, and got on with the task allocated   I normally find it hard working with people im not used to talking to but it was easier than i thought. 
How did you use your creativity to develop the scenario?
The scenario w thought of was my original idea, but we decided to change some of the story line because it didn't sound right so we used Nisha's and Aaruns idea.
How useful was your storyboard?  What did you change and what did you stick to?
The storyboard was very useful as we knew what we were doing and even though we changed some of the shots it was good knowing that if we forgot what we were meant tot be doing we had it on paper, the pictures also made it quicker to see what we were doing as we didnt have to read it; the pictures were self explanatory.   the only thing we changed was the characters and we got rid of one of the shots (from the original storyboard) which in my opinion made the film confusing as it didnt give you the feeling of kidnapping but just a weird and rude conversation.
