We are now planing to do our next task which is about continuity. We going to have to film a short clip of someone walking through a door and sitting down to have a conversation with another person. We will have to apply certain techniques to ensure that the continuity isn't broken. These techniques are:
Match on action: This is when shots are put into a row so the viewer can see the actor doing a certain action like going through a door.If the action was a door the would be a shot of the actor walking up to the door then maybe a close up of them turning the handle and then a shot of them walking through the door from inside the room. This makes the viewer believe that the actor went through the door in one fluent motion, where as the actor has had to stop and start for each shot.
Shot/ reverse shot: This is a shot that is used to show what an actor is looking at which can be from there perspective or from over there shoulder.
180 degree rule: This rule is used to make a conversation easy to follow. This is because the two actors are placed opposite from each other and on the same level.Then the camera is placed to side of non-speaking actors head. When the actor isnt talking it is put on the opposite side so the camera is always facing the person is talking. When switching between actors the camera has to stick a 180 degree angle.
