In this link you can see our pre-task which we completed in order to show our understanding of the shot-reverse-shot technique, along with the 180 degree rule and match on match editing. However, some problems with the pre-task is that some of the character's heads are out of frame so we made sure to take this error in filming into account and to not do this in our short film by taking greater care when filming.
Shot-Reverse-Shot is when a point of interest is shown, followed by the characters reaction, followed by the initial shot again. It is used to display reactions to events etc.
The 180 degree rule. This rule establishes the characters’ position in relation to the frame. Once the 180 degree rule is established it can’t be broken or it will disorientate the audience; unless it is shown to be broken by movement of the camera.
Match on match is the filming of segments which are edited together to form a sequence, rather than filming the whole thing at once from one angle, this helps as you see the film from different angles, and is easier when correcting mistakes than filming the whole sequence again.
This short clip shows each of these techniques.
