Directions Unit- Footage Coverage.

I have recently returned to Rochester to continue my Television Production course after the Christmas Holidays. As soon as I returned, I and my fellow classmates were split up into groups of 3 and required to create 3 short films. One member of the group would direct one of the films, one member would operate the camera in one of the films and one other member would actually appear in one of the films.
The idea behind this exercise was to simply showcase the importance of "Footage Coverage", meaning to learn how important it is to have a variety of different shots and angles of a particular action so that when the editing process begins, there is plenty of material to work with.
I was tasked with creating a short film about a person sat at a desk beginning to write a note, and then screwing the piece of paper up and throwing it into a bin.
Here is the film:
