Evaluation

We had all done a video each that we edited, but in the end the one we chose was Dan's, because it was the best.
In the video we succesfully pulled off, match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. I think the editing was done well, and the final video came out good.

Extreme Long Shot

And extreme long shot is where someone is who is shown to be small in the shot. This then emphasisis the background, and it also can be called an establishing shot.

180 Degree Rule

The 180 Degree rule is a simple guidline that states that two charaters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. In this technique you cannot pass the invisible axis or this will be called crossing the line.

This is an example of the 180 degree rule.
On the right of the picture is showing how the 180 degree
rule is suppose to be used. The on the right it a shows an example
of what crossing the line is. So when the camera cuts across
the line the characters switch places.

I also have a video which would be useful for understanding it fully in the link below.

Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot is a filming technique.
Basically, the camera frames one of the characters speaking usually from the point of view of the charater they are speaking to or behind the shoulder, and as each speaker talks the shot changes from character to character depending on who is speaking.

This example shows two girls having a heated comnversation for the first 7 seconds of the video. And as you can see Shot reverse shot has been used as a technique.

Match on Action

Match on action (also kniow as jump cut) is a technique used in production, where is cuts from one shot to the next one, but matches the first. This gives the impression of continuity, even if you have filmed the shots with a big time difference in the middle.

This is an example of Match on action.

Preliminary Exercise Brief

Our group has to do a Preliminary exercise. Basically what this is, is filming someone opening a door, walking across the room, sitting down and exchanging some words in dialogue.
We have to do this using 3 different camera angles. These are:
- Match on action
- Shot reverse
- 180 Degree rule
