Evaluation - Preliminary Task Progression

In our preliminary task, although it was the first time I had ever edited, I felt that we weren't able to get the shots we had taken to work smoothly together and create something nice to watch. Our main task was to do some match on action, we did this when the character opens the door. This was achieved but not to the quality I would of hoped, as it didn't seem very smooth. With more experience and time we were able to make characters actions smoother from shot to shot. 

One thing that we did wrong was the 180 degree rule in the shot reverse when there was dialog in our preliminary task. When the characters where talking the camera angle was jumping from one side of them to another going over the 180 degrees which may of confused the audience as it looked off. However in our finial edit we were able to successfully do this. For example when our two characters were having there conversation at the end. We did this so audience could see what they where saying and the expression characters had on there face.
