Our film will use shot-reverse-shots in filming the phone call scene and when the camera follows the character Ryan -Mori- we have stuck to the 180 degree rule and used match on action as much as possible like when Ryan is walking from his room to his kitchen.
We haven't finnished filming yet so there is room for improvement where it may be required, we are going to try to maintian verisimilitude by having the characters dressed in the same clothes and by filming in the same weather as much as possible. Skills I learned and carried on from my prelmininary exercise was filming single sides of a conversation in one and then editing and re-aranging them so they are in the correct order we employed this tecninque when we filmed a nurse in the San doing the doctors side of the conversation between the doctor and Ryan and then later we did the same with Mori in a different location up in Altyre. Our film fulfils the conventional requirements of the comedey genre from the point of view that we have a character who has an epiphaney moment and then he decides to change his life, it fails to fulfil the requirements in the respect that we were unable to get a famous actor -who would normally play the main character in such films- and it isn't set in a famous location like new york or London. Other than these obvious but unsurprising failings to keep to the conventions of the genre we have stuck to the conventional requirements as much as possible. Although we've attmepted to write a comedey our film isn't really incredibly witty or funny. The only real attempts at comdey we have are the character Ryan's blatant stupidity when the doctor tells him he's going to die. I feel that if we had more time to develop the storyline we would have come across as a more funny film but we've tried reasonably to convey that our film is a comedy in the timeframe we were given.
