Preliminary exercise - what have I learned?

The preliminary exercise has really helped to improve my media skills and organisation for the real thing.

A few things I've learned:

1. The location is KEY - it must look professional and exactly like the environment it is meant to be set in
2. Even the slightest background disruption and movement makes the filming look unprofessional
3. The outcome would have been more effective if we had included a few more shot types e.g an eyeline match shot, shot from a low angle etc
4. MOST importantly - How to use the 180 degree rule!
