2. THE 180 DEGREE RULE

swapped places.

continuity of the shot is broken
and it seems abnormal to the
audience.

3. MATCH-ON-ACTION

the action look like it is
happening more quickly.
• It also allows the audience to
focus more on the action that
is happening.
• This shot in particular is filmed by
zooming in on the handle and
recording it being pushed.
• Then pausing the camera, placing it
on the other side of the door and
recording it being opened.

downwards movement of

6. SHOT REVERSE SHOT
• This is a technique often used during
conversations.

and placed together.

conversations.

the shot at once, with the focuse
remaining on whichever character is
talking .

audience see through the eyes of
the character

handed held camera as normal
cameras can be too heavy.

aspects of POV shots as it needs
