180 Degree Rule-


In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a two characters or an object within a scene. This diagram above shows that the camera is only able to move around in the GREEN line in the 180-degree rule or else the shot might miss a facial expression and doesn't look very professional.

Shot/ Reverse Shot-

Above is a shot/reverse shot.
 
Shot reverse shot is a technique where one character is shown looking at another character who is normally 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.

Match on Action-

Above is a clip which demonstrates Match on Action.
 
 Match on action refers to film editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.

My Task-

My preliminary task in media was to first, create a Blogger and Prezi account. 
Then to research Match on Action, Shot/reverse Shot and 180 degree rule which I will use in my draft work.
Next I need to sort out planning, draft work, scripting, storyboard and organisation.
Then i will begin my construction, building up my ideas and starting the editing process.
finally I will evaluate my work by asking people from other groups what they thought. I will comment on where was good in the clip and where there is need of improvement.
