Breaking the 30 degree rule

breaking the 180 degree rule

Preliminary task

The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that shows that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two characters , it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle. an example of this is , if peter is on the left and louis is on the right, then peter should be facing right at all times, even when louis is off the edge of the frame, and louis should always be facing left. Shifting to the other side of the characters on a cut, so that louis is now on the left side and peter is on the right, will disorient the viewer, and break the flow of the scene.

When shooting a scene you must make sure that whenever you cut, the next shot has to pick up from where it was left no matter what the camera angle is. Match on action makes sure that the same action and pace is kept from shot to shot so that it looks realistic and continuous. For example one person maybe sitting on the right then in the next shot they may be sitting on the left. Match on action make sure this doesn’t happen so that the scene looks realistic

Shot reverse shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other

Homework on Horror film

This shot shows a women in water with the head of a skeleton. it shows horror by having something scary in it which normally happens in scary films. The shot is taken from the front so it shows the whole of the skeleton head and it shows how the women is feeling. the camera is put put at the level of the water and the image is an upward image. The camera is zoomed up on the persons and the skeletons face to make the scene seem more scary to the audience. We can't see the skeletons eyes so we are likely to be more scared of it. the scene is scary because of the face of the skeleton and the face of the women. the womens mouth is wide open and it seems as if she is screaming out for someone to help her. the skeleton looks as if he is going to kill her
