In media so far...

During our media lessons so far we have been studying some film productions by students from different comprehensive schools and some of the students work from local colleges.
We have been looking at the different camera movements and positions and discussing how each shot would have been created.
We have also learnt about a lot of different principles used when filming including :-
1) Match on action - This is used to create the impression of continuity throughout the filming. It is basically cutting and editing the shots and putting them back together.
2) Shot reverse shot - This is when two characters are having a conversation. One character would be facing left and the other would face right. This means that you are able to edit between a character talking and a character listening.
3) 180 degree rule - When using this rule you are taught to imagine that there is a line drawn across the room cutting the room in half.
