Brainstorming.

• 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.

Rough Ideas.

• 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.

180 Degree Rule.

• 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.

How we will consider using it in our planning.

Example Still Shots Of The 180° Rule .

• The camera remains on this side of the scene within 180 degrees so that the audience are

not disorientated.

• By following the 180 degree rule the character on the left hand side will stay on the left.

• 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 shot.

• 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.:

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.

How we will consider using it in our planning.
