This is our preliminary task where we had to do a match on action, shot/ reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. 

 

Match on action:  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. By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.

 

Shot/ reverse shot: 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.

 

180 degree rule: In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.
