2. What is the 180 Degree Rule and why is it
used?
The 180 Degree Rule
conditions are that two
characters in a scene should
always have the same
left/right correlation to each
other. If you don't follow the
180 Degree Rule or break it
deliberately, it disrupts the
scene and disorients the
audience. When you break
the 180 line, a person who
was at first facing left in a
scene is all of the sudden
facing right.
3. What is Shot Reverse-Short, how can it be
used?
• Shot reverse short is a series of editing in interview sequences. It makes
use of the 180 degree rule, the eye line match, and rule of change among
others. A full definition of what shot reverse short is:
A film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen)
at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back"
at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite
directions, the viewer unconsciously assumes that they are looking at each
other. – Wikipedia
4. What is Match-on-action?
• Make on action is an editing technique for continuity editing in
which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the
subject in first shot. This creates the impression of a sense of
continuity – the action carrying through creates “visual bridge”
which draws the viewer’s attention away from slight cutting or
continuity issues. This not a graphic match or match cut, it portrays a
continuous sense of the same action rather than matching two
separate things.
5. When is it used?
•
In the first photo on the upper left corner, it is a medium shot, it demonstrates that the male
is without doubt running with a firearm. in addition his gesture shows that he is planning to
leap across something. In the second photo it shows the slight continuation after he jumps
on a slope by using a medium shot, now it portraits that he is in mid-air. On the third photo
it shows a worm's eye angle. The camera is below him which captures his shoes, jeans, the
bob wire on his back and the open sky etc. Lastly on the fourth photo, it shows that the
camera is lying on the ground which overlooks the man's legs. Overall it shows that all photo
are poorly set because all of it are overexposed to the light also there are loads of variables
in these photos that didn't controlled specially the lighting.
