Deconstruction of continuity sequence

For this task, i am only going to be focusing on the first 40 seconds of this clip.

The scene starts off with a close up of the girl dropping the apple onto the boys foot who then flips it back up again. We then get a shot reverse shot of the girls reaction to this and then back again to the boy as the camera tilts upwards to his face. There is then a master shot in mid shot of the two of them in the cafeteria so we are able to get a sense of location and see where they are in relation of one another. During their conversation, the camera continues to go from either character using the shot reverse shot technique and by following the 180 degree rule. All these shots are medium close up. There are then close ups of the characters talking to capture their emotion. It then goes back to the mastershot of them in the cafeteria to reinforce the location before cutting away to a group of friend's reactions so the audience get a sense of emotion from other character's perspectives.
