Preliminary Task Video

Before shooting our opening sequence for 'swell' we were told that we had to complete a preliminary task. A preliminary task is when you film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she then exchanges a couple of lines. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and 180-degree rule.
The role-play we came up with is 2 people are sitting in a room when a I enter, cross the room, sit down opposite them and talk to the 2 people about my book I am reading for drama.
