For our preliminary task we had the task to create a short sequence in small groups whilst considering the use of the following techniques, a Match on Action, Continuity, the 180 Degree Rule, the Rule of Thirds, a Shot Reverse Shot and the 4 different Micro Aspects.
Match on Action A match on action is a simple technique where the camera which cut to a shot of the characters action in the scene. For example, if the character was to walk up to a door and open it, the camera would follow them to the door and then cut to their hand opening the door. The 180 Degree Rule The 180 degree rule is a cinematography guideline where the camera keeps a 180 degree angle when recording a scene, the guideline states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same right/left relationship, if the camera crosses the invisible axis then it is crossing the line and is therefore called a reverse angle. this may cause confusion for the audience if the camera is to cross the line because they will see a different type of scenery from what they have first seen. Rule of Thirds The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section. in terms of a conversation. then one person is talking they would be on one side of the shot and there would be space on the other side to show the division of the two characters and this would happen on the other side for the other character Shot Reverse Shot A shot reverse shot is a technique where one character is shown looking at another chapter who is often off screen and then the character is then shown looking back at them. this technique is often used when a conversation is occurring in the scene. Continuity Continuity editing is the process of creating a smooth and seamless narrative experience for the audience. This is the predominant style of film editing which occurs during the post production stage of the film or video. I shot my video with Lily and Michael and we filmed on the 2nd of February and myself, Lewis and Michael were the actors in the sequence as we borrowed Lewis to add another character into the video whilst Lily was filming most of the footage. However, each of us had a go at filming one another so that we got used to using one of the cameras for when we would use one on our own in the future. I believe that the Mise en Scene that we used was good as it fit in to our comedic genre of the video and also the POV shot of when the exchange took place was carefully framed with no shaking of the camera. overall, I believe that when the camera was from my perspective could've been better as the camera was shaking and the shot didn't look good and I will need to consider this when filming in the future.
