2	Medium Shot	Euan Clealand-Orgle  Sebastian Richmond	Scene 2 requires a medium shot when Cameron is working at the wipe board so that you can see the writing on the board clearly whilst also capturing the protagonist.  We also want to utilize a medium shot to show the conversation between mentor and student.

This combined film schedule with camera shot list should be easy to follow as it was done in accordance with the script, so we already know what action should be taking place, even without a story board. We are also free to be flexible in filming certain scenes at times that fit around us, despite the specific order of these plans. As long as we have a guideline to refer to, we know what shots need to be filmed but can still improvise around this without getting confused. It allows us to film our scenes straightaway as we don't have to think too much about the shots we need to use as we already have the list.  

Because of this efficient plan, we will also have time later on to improvise and decide on the shots for any fast scenes that don't include dialogue, without needing a plan like this. There is no measurable time or date which we can predict to film these within as they have not been planned or thought about yet.
