Preliminary Task

Evening,

I have been super impressed with your practical work thus far and am enjoying seeing you guys getting creative behind the camera.

As a recap, we have just looked at continuity editing and covered the following techniques...

• 180 degree rule
• shot/reverse shot
• match on action
• eyeline match

You have now started to engage with the preliminary task, which I have included below as a reference.

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.

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

 

Looking forward to tomorrow. Keep up the excellent work!
