Below is a video of our preliminary task in which we followed a brief asking us to create a short clip using shots like match in action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.
Shot-Reverse-Shot:
Shot-Reverse-Shot is a filming technique in which an actor is facing another actor who would be off screen, and visa versa. This provides the affect for viewers that the two actors are having a conversation. The cameras are usually positioned behind each of the actors so that both characters are shown in conversation manner therefore we view them over the shoulders of both actors.
180 Degree Rule:
180 degree rule means the camera must always remain within 180 degrees of two characters. The image below shows the area and distance the camera must travel and stay within and it cannot cross into the red section otherwise it would make the characters face the same way and it would not look like a proper conversation.
Match on Action:
Match on action is a action which carries out one scene at different angles. An example of this is from our preliminary task when we unlocked the door, we showed the being unlocked from the outside and from the inside. This creates a sense of continuous motion and ensures the audience what is exactly happens.
