3. • We came up with a medley of rough ideas to
work with, and decided on using a few
merged ideas.
• We decided upon a small conversation
between characters, about a student’s
incomplete work, which leads to conflict
between the characters.
4. • What is it?
• The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline which states that two characters or other
elements within the same scene must always have the same left/right relationship to
each other.
• The rule allows the audience to connect visually with unseen movement that is
happening around and behind the immediate subject.
• Often in professional productions, applying the 180° rule is an essential element for
continuity editing.
• The rule is normally used to avoid disorientating the audience with shifting the shot
from one character to another using cutaways.
5. • We considered using the 180° rule whilst filming the characters in
our scene are having a conversation at a desk.
• During the conversation the camera will be placed on the right
hand side of the table, and will remain
within a 180 degree radius.
• By doing this, the character on the right
hand side remains on the right and the
character on the left stays on the left side of the shot.
6. • By following the
180 degree rule the
character on the
left hand side will
stay on the left.
• The camera remains on this side of
the scene within 180 degrees so that
the audience are not disorientated.
Middle

• Although the camera changes
position, due to the 180 degree rule
the characters remain in the same
position and on the same side of the
Right Left. Right shot.
7. • Match on action is editing, where it cuts from
one shot to another shot that matches the
first shot's action.
• It is used to show the continuation of actions.
E.g.:

9. We will be using match on action in our opening
sequence throughout.
We’ll use it to show:
• Joanne as she walks into the media room.
• Joanne as she sits opposite Abigail.
• When Joanne pushes Abigail’s work from the
table.
