The Preliminary Task- Continuity Editing

The Preliminary Task needed to include someone sitting in a chair , having a conversation and opening a door.Continuity is used to make the editing between shots seamless and un-noticable, good continuity editing should make the shots appear to flow from one to the other.
Using this task we had to show four techniques. These included:the 180 degree rule , match on action , shot reverse shot and eye-line match. Shot reverse shot is usually used to show conversations , it is where the camera is focused on one character then shows the reaction of another character, showing response and reaction.Shot reverse shot is used during our preliminary task to show the conversation during the job interview.
Eye-line match is where someone is looking at something off screen , the camera then cuts to what the character is looking at. We used eye-line match as the job interviewer looks at the applicant , the camera then cuts to the applicant.
Match on action is where the character carries out an action , which the camera shots from one angle , we then see the action from another angle. We used match on action to show our character sitting down on his chair.We shot this from side on of him walking to his chair , just as he sat down we cut the shot and showed him sitting down from a front on angle.
If I were to re-do this task I would ensure that I stuck to the 180 degree rule fully, as this can ensure the continuity is seamless.I would also improve any small gliches , such as sudden jerks in the camera , by making sure the tri-pod is used correctly.
