The Preliminary Task brief was to create a minute long scene of a genre of our choice that involved everyone in our group. While filming we had to include a shot-reverse-shot, a match on action and we had to keep in mind the 180 degree rule (which we did).
During the process of producing a full two minute opening sequence we have adapted our use of shot revers shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule. In our shotlist we planned for a shot-reverse-shot between the protagonist and the therapist but decided it didn't work so changed it to a point-of-view shot which we felt expressed the mood a bit more.
In our original cut of the opening sequence we had a match on action of the protagonist walking towards the door then walking through it but we had to cut it due to length issues.
We were also constantly aware of the 360 degree rule but decided to break it with a dolly track around the protagonist so we could get a dizzying shot in the long hallway. We felt breaking the rule made the dream seem more surreal and dreamlike.
