Master Shot - Our second shot was a WS pan from one character to another, this helps the audience to understand where objects and characters are in relation to eachother. It also established our football field setting.
Reverse Shot - Our third and fourth shots were ECU reverses of the characters faces. It established the characters of a confident football player and a scared, incompetent goal keeper.
Match on Action - When the footballer kicked the ball out of frame it came back into frame in the next shot on the same side and was edited so that it seemed the ball flowed from one shot into another.
180 degree rule - We obeyed the basics of video editing by following the 180 degree rule. We didn't cross the line between our two characters. This meant that the narrative flowed and there were no jarring or confusing moments for our audience.
What could you do to improve the narrative flow in your sequence?
Our first shot is a CU of a pair of feet stepping up to a football but there is no context, character or setting so the audience become confused. In hindsight, I would have put this shot later on in the sequence.
