- we have made a story bored of a script on what we want each frame to consist example medium close up of face
- made a brainstorm of ideas? lines, costume, props, lighting, setting,characters
-script of what the 2 characters are going to say
Preliminary exercise:
Continuity task involiving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. The task should demonstrate math on action,shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule
A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.
+------------------------------------+ | | | | | __ | | / \ ^ | | | o | | | |@ \ | | | \__- | | | / \ | +------------------------------------+ Shot 1: In this shot, we see the person beginning to get up from a sitting position (albeit, horribly framed). The arrow indicates the person's direction of motion.
+------------------------------------+ | ___ | | / \ | | |o o| | | | v | ^ | | \_-_/ | | | / \ | | | / \ | | | | | | +------------------------------------+ Shot 2: There is a cut to this shot, which shows the person finishing standing up. The main difference from shot 1 to shot 2 is the position of the camera.
180 degree rule:
The 180° rule is a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
