Preliminary task using match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot

In this task, we were asked to try to implement all three camera techniques such as shot-reverse-shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule. I feel like we did have a couple of faults in the editing but it actually turned out looking pretty good! For example, in the opening part of this, we was meant to be using match on action but, rather than this looking like match on action, it turned out to look more like jump cuts which alternatively made it seem like the protagonist was anxious as he is looking into class rooms and opening doors. I feel like this ended up quite well as it could make the audience perceive the clip as if the character is looking for his friends but he is getting anxious as he cannot find them. Moreover, when it came to the shot-reverse-shot, I feel like we succeeded with this fairly well as you can clearly see that two characters are talking and the way it was filmed makes it seem pretty seamless. We also use the 180 degree rule in this scene as we don't cross over it at any point.
