Experimental Filming

Our media teacher gave us an excercise to practise our filming and editing skills before we started filming for our actual video, we had to try and include as many examples of camera angles as possible and use continuous editing to make it look like we came out of different doors.
This was a challenge for me as I had never done something like this before, I was the model and so had to make my actions look realistic but I found it hard to match up the actions of leaving one door and entering into another. 
I feel like I have learnt from filming this small scene and editing it that I will not use continuous editing in my final video as it is something I struggle with and may take up a bit of my time trying to edit it.
Another thing that I need to improve is camera work, I didn't film this video as I was the model so another student was behind the camera filming me, because of this I didn't get much experience of filming and when it came to editing some of the shots I hadn't seen fully, I have learnt from this and before I film my actual video I am going to shoot test footage to get used to the camera I am going to use and edit the footage all by myself so I can create the product how I would like my actual music video to turn out like.
But a strong point from filming this was the way I got to use different camera shots for example; 
 I would say this is an establishing shot as it shows everything in the scene and establishes what door I am going into. 
 High medium close up, draws attention to where I am going and that I am in the lift.
 Another medium close up, we filmed me walking to link up with the next scene but I don't think it works very well and would've been something I would change.
