2. For it to be a 180 degree shot then there are a few rules
that must be put into place beforehand. You must stay at
only one side of the subject or the actor that you are
filming. This ensures that the audience that will be
viewing this is fully orientated and can clearly see
without being confused.
If you cross the 180 degree line then you MUST show the
shot being crossed and not just shoot to the other side.
3. In this type of shot it involves cutting back and fourth
between two different shots so that you are able to view
both sides of the scene. The cameras are positioned on
the same side of the 180 degree line & then when you
edit the film you can use both shots.
This type of edit is often used when actors are taking
part in conversation, switching from one speaker to the
other as they turn take in conversation.
4. This rule involves observing the fluidity & the continuity
between two shots. You must make sure that when
taking these shots that they follow on from each other,
are believable, convincing and realistic.
5. This is the type of edit that is used to show the audience
a bit about that narrative. This enables the film to be
changed from a sequence playing to an object or
character to give the audience hints and clues.
For example a person that has been running and is out of
breath and then the cut away would be to a clock to
show that he/she is late.
