In this first practical lesson the main focus of what we where taught was the 180 degree camera rule. We initially was given the short task of writing the dialogue for two people having a conversation. After the class had all written our short discussions we voted on which conversation would most suit the simple exercise of filming two people taking, using two different cameras. We came to a decision that cozmo's idea about a debate on the latest third generation game consoles, was the most relevant. so with that we attempted to set up the camera and sound equipment, after our first try we could see minor problems with our positioning, Ms Flavll anticipated these mistakes and informed us about the 180 camera set up.

The 180 rule is to ensure that both cameras are not seen in the other cameras shot, and to make it easier for the lighting set up.

In our short film we had originally had two lights but after we applied the 180 we found we only needed one.
