For our upcoming preliminary task, we must create and edit a short film segment in and around school. We are considering filming in the sixth form area, as there a lots of professional settings could use, such as the staff offices. I think that these are very good and suitable settings as our movie segment is set in the school, and the staff area was always a scary thought as a child.

Match on Action

Match on action is a technique that is used in many sorts of Tv and media productions. It consists of connecting two shots together in which a character finishes an action that was started in the first one. For example a clip of a character walking through a door from one angle, followed by a shot from another from another angle.

180 Degree Rule

The 180 degree rule is a rule that means a camera can only stay one side of a certain line where the characters are being filmed. There are three positions that the camera can be in, and this is so that the viewer is not confused or disorientated by the cameraman. This is very important otherwise it will reduce the quality of the program.

Shot/Reverse shot

A shot reverse shot is used in the media usually to show a conversation between two characters, enabling the viewer to see the conversation from both of the characters perspective, enhancing the viewers experience whilst watching the program.
