Shot 1: We started with an establishing shot panning up from Matt's feet to see him being chased by Anjana. This was a good idea however it was difficult to time knowing we wouldn't be able to edit or reshoot and the shot was too fast and tilted which made it confusing.
Shot 2: One problem with this shot is that the camera focuses on Matt's feet again, having just panned up from his feet in the last shot. The repeat of Matt's feet makes it seem like we're redoing the shot and doesn't move the action on. Additionally the sudden slow motion breaks up the fast-paced feel the last shot sets up and makes the sequence seem stilted - we lose the sense of action.
Shot 3: The next shot was effective because it matched the action of the last shot - in the last shot we see him turn into a room and in this shot we see him coming in - so the action makes sense for the viewer and makes it slicker to watch.
Shot 4: Although the idea for this shot was good, we managed to break the 180 degree rule. This shot was supposed to continue the falling action of the last shot, however, we crossed the line by filming it from the other side of Matt so it appears that he is falling the wrong way. Another problem was the setting we chose: since the locker room looks the same from both sides the falling shot looked even more confusing and wrong.
Shot 5: This shot was fairly effective as we return to the foot shot of before and we see Matt from Anjana's point of view as a victim, however we didn't follow her feet closely enough and her kick ends up slightly out of shot.
