Preliminary Task

In today's lesson we looked at different editing shots which were match on action, shot reverse shot and 180 rule.

Match on action is a editing technique which is a very simple technique where perspective of the camera changes during the scene and the scene continues to flow; its all about continuity. In my group we had a conversation where Carla couldn't to an essay and the camera was just on her but then the perspective of the camera changed with Marnie and me joining her in the conversation with us all doing the essay, Sam was recording it all.

Shot reverse shot is a editing technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then that is followed by a reverse angle where the other character is then shown looking back at the first character. In my group me and Marnie had a conversation and Sam recorded me looking at her and then Marnie looking at me. 

180 rule is a editing technique where you can not cross the line of action, you have to keep the camera position within a field of 180. In my group me, Sam and Marnie had a conversation about the school where we kept the camera position at 180. 

We started off our group with just me, Marnie and Carla and did one video of match on action but it didn't go so well as we couldn't think of what to say in our conversation. Sam then joined our group and we was more planned in our conversation so it was much better and we ended up completing our task and doing all three shots, match on action, shot reverse shot and 180 rule.

We edited our videos my imovie, we had different clips but with imovie we was able to cut the parts we didn't want and join all the clips together.
