Single shot practice

For my last shooting exercise last weekend, I shoot a single shoot. My idea is to shoot from camera’s point of view. There is no dialogue between two characters, it’s all about action. So during the shooting, I followed the female character who is very distracted and walks around a lot all the way, there are few camera movements, the thing which lead my camera is her eye contact with the other male character who is in the same room with her and doing the word puzzle. So I followed her all the way, and every time she moves, I was like the another third person in the room, I track for her movements. When she walks back and forth, I just simply, slowly and narrowly move the frame. When she walks to the table, grabs her bag, takes her phone out, and puts it back in, I tracked her all the way. During her walking back and forth, she stops a bit and look at the guy who is looking at her, then my camera firstly stops moving, looking at her, get her face expression, then turn to the guy, then come back to her. When she makes a phone call from the telephone on the table and she looks at him, the same camera movement, but this time get more face expression of him because she hang up the phone and walks away once she looks at him. Finally camera goes back to her and that’s the end.
