The document outlines ideas for shooting a scene between two characters discussing an incomplete student work, which leads to a conflict. It considers using techniques like the 180 degree rule, match on action editing, and over the shoulder shots during a conversation at a desk. A breakdown is provided listing 12 shots needed along with the type of shot and description, as well as any props or costumes required.

3. • We came up with a medley of rough ideas to
work with, and decided on using a few
merged ideas.
• We decided upon a small conversation
between characters, about a student’s
incomplete work, which leads to conflict
between the characters.
4. • What is it?
• The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline which states that two characters or other
elements within the same scene must always have the same left/right relationship to
each other.
• The rule allows the audience to connect visually with unseen movement that is
happening around and behind the immediate subject.
• Often in professional productions, applying the 180° rule is an essential element for
continuity editing.
• The rule is normally used to avoid disorientating the audience with shifting the shot
from one character to another using cutaways.
5. • We considered using the 180° rule whilst filming the characters in
our scene are having a conversation at a desk.
• During the conversation in our scene we considered filming from
behind the shoulder of one character capturing the other character
who would be talking at this point.
• We would then film from the same position but from the other
character at exactly 180 degrees away from the last shot.
• This would place the camera directly opposite the previous shot.

7. • Match on action refers to the editing within a
film. It is where the editor cuts from one shot
to another view that matches the first shot's
action.
E.g.
8. • We have considered using match on action in
our opening sequence on numerous occasions
within the opening sequence.
• It will be used to show the continuation of
different parts of the scene from different
angles.
9. • Another example of match on action...
• It has been edited in such a way, that the
action continues in the different shot.
