What is the 180 degree rule?

The 180-degree rule is an on-screen relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. The first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.

What is the match on action?

A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.

What is the eye line match?

An eye line match shot is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The eye line match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut to the object or person at which he is looking.

What is the shot-reverse-shot?

A shot-reverse-shot is a continuity editing technique used in conversation or two characters just looking at each other or an object. It is a shot showing what the character is looking at, and is followed by a reverse angle shot of the character themselves looking at it.

We incorporated these shots into our final film

We used this shot in our film to show the view of the person; this shot is useful as it makes the view suspicious of this slightly off camera person.

We used this close up shot to make the view focus on what he is saying and fully show the emotion in his face. This shot was useful as it is an effective shot and fitted well in our film.
This angled shot was used to show the characters to the audience and show that one of the characters was being followed building up suspense.

 



We then used a low angle shot into a high angled shot to show the two characters walking up the stairs this was a good effect and transitioned nicely into each other these shots were used to show two different points of the two characters walking up the stairs.

The film making process was efficient and was easier to create as we were following our storyboard we made previously. The storyboard was easy to follow and allowed us to use a variety of shots in our film. Filming around the sixth form was great for our film as our film was about bullying in school, we filmed during lesson so we was able to avoid getting other people in our shots.

The adobe premiere was easy to use and helped me understand what to do when editing. I learnt how to cut the clips so I was able to get only the useful bits for our film, and I also learned how to add music so our film had music to go with our film genre.
