Preliminary task brief and shot types we will use.

For my preliminary task it will involve filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.




I am working with James Hawkins, and Linden Whitehead.


My role is to help direct and act in the short video.
Lindens role is to film and edit the video.
James' role is to direct and film the short video.




Match on action - where you cut to different shots but still show one continuous action.


Shot/reverse shot - where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.


180 degree rule - a fundamental rule where the camera does not pass an invisible axis of 180 degrees, otherwise perspectives change and continuity error are likely to occur.
