During this exercise we had to show the following types shots. the shots were:
- Match on action
- Eye Line Match
- 180 degree rule
Match on action: We see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue in the next shot.
Eye line match: We see a character looking at something off screen and then cut to a shot of what they are looking at.
The 180 degree rule: A basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is called jumping the line or crossing the line.
In our preliminary exercise we did include all these things. But because this was one of our first encounters those types of shots. This inevitably made the shots look a little rusty. For an example, for the eye line match we showed a character looking at a magazine and in the next scene we showed the magazine he was looking at but it wasn't very precise and accurate.
