180 Degree Rule

The 180 degree rule used in our filming task a basic ruling in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.




If the camera does not do this and goes to the other side the audience becomes confused and unsettled.

Continuity Task




This is the map for the continuity task. A character in the film must walk through a door, sit at a table and have a conversation with another character. the film must use different camera angles and shots.




Questions



1) Our group had done quite alot of planning before we shot our films which had included a story board, script and a map.We decided to do all of this planning in much detail so that we could get started a lot quicker and there wouldnt be any confusing once we started shooting.




3) In our film we had used many angles and shot types. This included a tracking shot, medium shots, close ups and extreme close ups. One of the shots( the extreme close up) was used to bring more emphasis in what the character was saying.
