I am working on a TV series called "Almost Spies." It consists of short (4-6 minute) episodes, and it is dramedy about a team of bumbling wannabe spies and the people who try to rein them in. We've shot 4 episodes, and 2 are now complete and ready for viewing. Episode 1 was shot entirely on a GH6, while episode 2 used both a GH5 and GH6. (The producer used his cellphone for some B-roll shots of a vehicle on the road.) I am the director, editor and cinematographer, so I've been a little busy! I will post episode 2 tomorrow, but here is the first episode, entitled "Snatch":

 
I don't want this to come off as criticism because it's so difficult making things, but I do like asking questions to evaluate brains, thought-processes...and so...

[and thank you]

(1) When you're shooting the man in the suit, why didn't you just pan the camera to the left from that position and stay on the 180° side to film the woman? You crossed over and the camera is on the right side of the guy?

(2) Why 30p?

(3) Did you let a lot of the highlights go on purpose?

(4) Why use those transitions and not hard cuts?
