Preliminary Task

For my preliminary task I had to film and edit a character opening a door into a room and walking across the room to engage in a few lines of dialogue with another character. I was in a group of four to do this and the clip only had to be about a minute long.
In my preliminary task I had to demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.

Match on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.

Shot/reverse shot is a shot that views the action from the opposite side of the previous shot, as during a conversation between two actors, giving the effect of looking from one actor to the other.






The 180 degree rule refers to keeping the camera position within a field of 180°.
