In the AS Prelim task, i will create a video showing 3 different camera techniques.

These three techniques include:

 Match on action
Shot/Reverse shot
180 degree rule

My short film will involve a character opening a door and walking across the room to sit down opposite another character, where the they will exchange a few lines of dialogue.

Match on action

This is where an action is shown from two different perspectives consecutively, creating a consistent flow in the action.



Shot/Reverse shot

 This is where one character is shown looking at another character, then that character is shown looking back at the first character. This technique portrays that the two characters are engaged in a conversation.


180 degree rule

This where the camera either pans or cuts to different views without breaking the 180 degree rule, which means the camera either stops panning or the cutting stops soon as it reaches the 180 degree angle. In this shot the subject or subjects are in the same position throughout.
