The preliminary task plan summarizes shots needed to film a scene where Gia is frightened by something unseen. It includes a close-up shot of Gia's frightened facial expression, a match on action shot of her opening a door, an over the shoulder shot showing her friend's reaction, and establishing shots, mid shots and a two shot of them conversing at a table. The document also discusses maintaining the 180-degree rule and matching on action between shots.

3. 180 degree rule!
What is it?
It is a basic guideline that characters in a shot should always stay to their left or right
position with each other.
How are you considering it in your preliminary task?
We will be filming the character in a conversation to keep their left and right positions,
therefore to keep this rule we will not be filming from the other side of the table.
If filming is filmed
from the left side You can’t change side
of a room the of the camera because
character would the position of
then have right characters would be
and left positions flipped
therefore …

4. Match on action!
What is it?
When the editor cuts from one shot to another which matches the action in the other shot,
regardless of possibly being filmed hours apart. It gives an impression of continuous time.
How are you considering it in your preliminary task?
We will be showing the character open the door then coming through it on the other side.
Matches as if it was one
movement
