Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task we learned the 3 main rules of filming:

• SHOT REVERSE SHOT

Shot reverse shot is when the other character is shown looking back at the first character. which gives the scene a sense of continuity with the conversation between the two characters moving smoothly.

• MATCH ON ACTION

Match on action connects two shots cut together by having a character finish an action in the second cut.  We also included match on action in our preliminary this also allows the scene to move smoothly with correct editing.

• 180 DEGREE RULE

180 degree is when two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
