I decided that for the shots with dialogue, i would find it really useful to practise the angles before going to film the real thing and changing my angles on the spot. The first scene I filmed from 5 different angles, 2 of which were POV shots from both characters. I then cut each clip depending on who was talking and what I thought looked best.
The second scene I filmed from 4 different angles and I cut them depending on what was being said and who was saying it.

Story line
Teenage girl, called Jasmine, gets accepted to a professional dance school and gets a chance to fulfill her dream on scholarship. She is tricked into going a girls locker, where there are are drugs being hidden, and as Jasmine takes them out, the principal walks past and sees. The principal warns her that if she doesn’t prove that she is a worth being in this school and will work hard then she will lose her scholarship. She meets a new friend called Lee who promises to help her prove to the principal that she is worth the scolarship. She also becomes friends with the most popular boy and best dancer in school, Jake, and a romance begins. Sarah, Jakes ex-girlfriend, notices that Jake and Jasmine are becoming close and will try anything to ruin it by organising a showcase, for ballet only. The principal says that this is Jasmines chance to prove to her than she is worth her scholarship and will work hard. As Jasmine has only ever done street dancing, she is unable to do ballet but Jake teaches her how to combine her street dance with new ballet techniques. Jasmine eventually convinces Lee to forgive her, just in time for the show. Jasmine performs in the showcase and the principal is amazed and guarantees Jasmine a scholarship for the full 3 years at school.
