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 in our scene we considered filming from behind the shoulder of one character capturing the other character who would be talking at this point.

• We would then film from the same position but from the other character at exactly 180 degrees away from the last shot.

• This would place the camera directly opposite the previous shot.

How we will consider using it in our planning.

Example Still Shots Of The 180° Rule .

• Match on action refers to the editing within a film. It is where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.E.g.

Match On Action

• We have considered using match on action in our opening sequence on numerous occasions within the opening sequence.

• It will be used to show the continuation of different parts of the scene from different angles.

How we will consider using it in our planning.

• Another example of match on action...

Match On Action

• It has been edited in such a way, that the action continues in the different shot.
