filming rules

The 180 degree rule is used to make sure the viewer does not get confused and disorientated. It is an imaginary line which connects characters and the camera should not go over it.

Match an action: an editing technique which cuts from one shot to another quickly portraying the subject of action in the first. It creates tension and draws the viewer away from slight cutting.

Reverse shot: used in conversations or simply characters looking at each other or something else. It ties in with 180 degree rule as its used to not disorientate the viewer as well. The shot is  when it shows what the character is meant to be looking at then a re=verse angle to them actually looking at it.

We are going to set the beginning of the film at tommy’s house. We will all be round his house playing Xbox his parents are out of town. We will all be talking to each other just the three of us, me, tom c and fearg when things start happening. Tom h will be visible to the audience but not to us which would create some confusion. However then we would have a flashback of tommy dying, which would allow the audience to understand why we are ignoring him because he is actually dead.

Evaluation of are preliminary task

Evaluation of are preliminary task

In the preliminary task we made sure that we had a variety of shots in are movie this included, match on action, 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and over the shoulder shot. We made sure that we had all the correct shots in are film to make sure we get a high level. We focused on the main 3 which were the match in action, 180 degree rule and the shot reverse shot we had this in are movie. We used in sensible places such as the shot reverse shot we had a conversation between are two actors. We edited the clips together so we had a clean movie, are transition were crazy as it made the movie look like we had more than one camera.

Next time to improve are movie we should use a tripod as it keeps the camera still and makes it easier to film and gives off a more professional feel. Next time we film we need to zoom in more on the shot reverse shot as it gives of a desired effect.

Film practise analysis

You cannot go over the line of action as it will confuse the audience the camera has to stay on one side of the room.

The shot to reverse shot is the camera switching to each other when they speak this is used to show there is a conversation going on and it is important 

The camera shots are cut quickly between each other to give of the desired effect of a fight seen to show you all of the action the match on action usually zooms in close at a particular moment to make a suspense feeling.
