Preliminary Task

2. The180 degree rule
 The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states
that two characters in the same scene should always have the
same left/right relationship to each other.
 We will consider this by following the same rule and making sure that we
don’t cross the line
 It would be important for us to use this rule in our filming conversation because
if we were to cross the imaginary line then the characters in the conversation
would change sides on the screen which would in turn confuse the audience.

3. Reverse Shots
 Reverse shots is when 1
character is looking at
another character, whist
at the same time the
other character is looking
back at them.

4. Over the shoulder Shots
 Over the shots are when the camera is
focusing on a character but at the same
time in the shot you can see the person
the camera is behinds shoulder or back of
head

5. Two Shot
 Two Shot - When two
characters are in the
frame.
 We would use this in our
conversation when two of
our characters meet and
are actually in
conversation

6. Match on action
 Match on action is when you cut
during an action in a shot to another
shot that shows the same action
 E.g. from a low angle shot to a
over the shoulder shot.
 We will consider this in our planning
when we creating an action scene and
want to change the shot

7. Example Preliminary’s
Good Example ‘Rage’
We thought this was good preliminary because it http://www.youtube.com/watc
used a variety of shots and angles such as two
shot, POV (point of view), long shot, pan etc. which
made it very effective, also it had good framing and
no jump cuts so the filming was quite smooth.
Bad Example
We thought this was bad preliminary http://www.youtube.com/watch?
because it did not use a variety of shots or
angles also some of the words were cut off
when the shots were changing.
