Our task was to create a small 2 minute video of a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchange a couple of lines of dialouge. We had to make sure we included; The 180-degree rule:
The 180 degree rule is one which means that two people in a scene should
always keep the same left and right relationship to one another, so
that the audience watching doesn't get confused. The picture above shows
that if the camera crosses the line connecting the two characters
together, it is called crossing the line, this is called a reverse shot -
and it means that the two characters are seen on opposite sides of the
shot than before.
Match on action:
This is when the camera follows the steps, movements and action that the
character makes and then cuts it from one action to the next but making
it a different angle or camera keeping sure that it is giving
continuation to the scene.
I filmed this task; This continuity task was a success in we managed to make a creative story and script, and managed to demonstrate shots during filming. However in the editing there are issues, at the beginning when Luke walks through the door the scene jumps and shows him half way through the door even though in the scene before it shows him going completely through the door. The scene straight after Charlie is drawing on the desk and that goes on for about 5 seconds, this could be shortened down. The next shot shows Luke walking to the table and almost putting his hands on the table and it jumps to all of a sudden to him with his hands on the table, it isn't a smooth transition. However I think the over the shoulder shots at the very end during the conversation worked really well, they are long enough with the characters in the same position the whole time.
