180 degree rule!What is it?

It is a basic guideline that characters in a shot should always stay to their left or right position with each other.

How are you considering it in your preliminary task?

We will be filming the character in a conversation to keep their left and right positions, therefore to keep this rule we will not be filming from the other side of the table.

If filming is filmed from the left side of a room the character would then have right and left positions therefore …

You can’t change side of the camera because the position of characters would be flipped

Match on action!What is it?

When the editor cuts from one shot to another which matches the action in the other shot, regardless of possibly being filmed hours apart. It gives an impression of continuous time.

How are you considering it in your preliminary task?

We will be showing the character open the door then coming through it on the other side.

Matches as if it was one movement
