Similar Media Analysis

My film will consist of a person walking through a door, sitting down, having a short conversation with another person then leaving. I have decided to use the 'pill scene' from 'The Matrix: Enter The Matrix' as it incorporates similar content. (Scene can be found Here)

The scene begins with a close-up on Morpheus's face as Neo walks in, this allows the audience to see that he is pleased with the arrival.

A medium shot is used to establish the setting, this also starts the 180 degree rule (Morpheus is always on the left and Neo always on the right)

As Neo sits down the camera shot is lower, a match-on-action shot filming technique is used.
As Morpheus walks across the room the camera pans with his movement, setting the scene and providing more match-on-action.
As the two are talking the camera angle changes, meaning the person talking is always in view (shot-reverse shot). This is not a POV shot however, as both camera angles seem to originate from the same place in between the two.
A shot when Morpheus is talking, great example of 180 degree rule with this shot and the one above.
Extreme close-up showing the reflection of Neo in each glass panel
