Preliminary task

Our preliminary task is a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down on a chair opposite another character, they then have a short conversation.

Continuity filming means that the scenes flow so no possible changes will effect it. In this task we will use three different types of shots:

Match on action - this is when there is one shot from behind the character then the camera is cut and moved then next shot taken in front, or visa-versa, in one seamless action.
In our interpretation one shot is taken behind the character and shows them opening the door and the next shot is taken in front of the character and shows them walking through the door.







Shot/reverse shot (see previous post for definition)- this is an over the shoulder shot, we will use this after Elsie (the person who's late) comes through the door and is looking at me (the woman waiting for her).

180-degree rule - this rule draws an imaginary line between the two characters at 180-degrees at which the camera doesn't pass so the viewers don't get disorientated.
We will use this when the characters are having a conversation.
