For my Preliminary Taks me and my partner was asked to create a short film. The film had to be at least 2 minutes long and show use of the following:

•  Shot Reverse Shot 
• Match On Action 
• The 180 Degree Rule 

 The film could be about anything i wanted it to be but it had to have scenes where:

• Sits down 
• Has a conversation with someone  

Other than those requirements the film could be what ever i wanted it to be.
