Film Fans - Here's a film technique "Brain Teaser..."

24.112.128.78

Hi,
Recently I was talking film technique with some colleagues and it brought to mind one of my assignments from film school. The concept behind the exercise was to make us think about the relationship between...well, maybe I shouldn't give it away. Just for fun, here's the assignment, in case anyone here would enjoy taking a crack at it:
Take a movie camera (or video camera) and film some live action. However, you must make the action look as if it is reversed. Here's one example: Film a door closing, but do so in a manner that makes it look as if it's opening.
The exercise is a bit cryptic, because I'm leaving out examples of some other possible actions that would be easier to figure out. The answer is quite a simple technique, which has several variations applicable to filming different actions as if they were occurring in reverse.
If the answer is obvious, sorry for wasting your time. If it's tough to figure out, I'd be glad to give some hints.
Cheers,
Rich H.
