Preliminary Task

The preliminary task we had to do was to make a film using all the shots we learned in the lesson. This is to help us edit some mistakes we have. The preliminary task includes the key edits:


  • Match on action - This edit means that we see a character starting something then we see them finishing the thing that they started in the next shot. e.g opening the door then we see them entering the room
  • The 180 degree rule - This edit is a basic guideline that two characters in the same scene should have the same left and the same right relationship to each other

  • Shot reverse shot is a technique where one chatacter is shown looking at another character (often off- screen), and the other character is shown looking back at the first character. The characters are shown facing in opposite directions, which makes us think that they are looking at each other.
