Match on Action

Match on action is a very sinple but essential tenchique, where the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues to flow.

Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is afilm techniquewhere one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

180 degree rule

The 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called jumping the line or crossing the line.

Nikita and jess are going to be our 2 main actors in the film, because we are only allowed 2 actors in the film. The props we will be using is table, two chairs and 2 moblie phones and the setting will be in drama studio and the canteen. Chelsie is going to be the one that is controlling the camera and danielle will be making the sound affects that we will need to create the film.
Nikita and jess are going to be talking about how to get nikita out of detention and what they are going to do. There is going to be different types of camera angles for example extreme close up, mid shot and long shot and many more.

This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

Main task: the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
