The task we were set is to film and produce a 2 minute clip of an actor walking into a rom and telling another actor a 'knock knock' joke.

The first shot is an exterior shot following the actor into the building. This person gets a text from actor 2. There is a point of view shot of the text on the phone. The point of view shot continues into the building and past the doors. Then there is match on action as there are mid shots of actor one going upstairs. After that there is a tracking shot walking alongside actor 1 going up to the door then he puts his hand on the door handle. The camera cuts to him walking in the room. Actor 1 sits down across the table from actor 2 and there is a series of shot/reverse shots as they exchange dialogue.
