Prelim

Preliminary Task:
A continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character wit whom he exchanges dialogue . This should demonstrate: match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.

Before planning our preliminary task we began to look at the 3 main aspects of filming which needs to be included in our task:

180 degree rule:
- This keeps viewers perspective orientated
- It teaches that the actor should always be on the same side and the camera should not pass the '180° axis'
- However if u do switch the camera to 'break the rule' you must shoot the transfer            

Match on Action
- Refers to fluent editing between shots when changing the camera angle/shot

Shot Reverse Shot
- Switching between characters
- The camera generally shows the person talking
