180degree Rule
The 180 rule states that in a two-person conversation scene, the characters should always be on the same side of the camera axis to avoid confusing the viewer about who is talking. When cutting between shots of the characters, their positioning should not cross the axis and switch sides of the screen, as this can make it unclear who is speaking. Following the 180 rule helps the viewer easily understand who is interacting with who in dialogue scenes.
Introduction to Task
This document discusses various filmmaking techniques and codes used to tell a story. It explains that an enigma code can be used to create mysteries that drive the narrative forward, like showing a "wanted" poster that makes the audience wonder about the character's role. It also describes how a protagonist acts as the agent of change, influencing the story based on their choices and actions. Additionally, it outlines the three-part structure of stories, with an initial equilibrium disrupted by a disequilibrium or change that is resolved again at the end.
Media CW - Conventions
This document discusses conventions used in the genre of action-comedy films. It summarizes that the film aimed to keep conventions of action films but avoid excessive displays of masculinity. It showed masculinity through characters' actions and words rather than physicality. It also discusses camera techniques used in action sequences, such as a stationary tripod camera rather than a handheld camera to ensure the audience can see what is happening clearly.
Shot list
The document provides a shot list for a film containing 14 shots. Shot 1 is an establishing extreme long shot of a forest from the sky tilting down. Shot 2 is a left to right pan of a jogger crossing a bridge. Shot 3 is a right to left pan of the jogger running past the camera. Shot 9 is an extreme long shot of a river and bridge establishing the death location. Shot 10 tilts down from the bridge to introduce a medium/long shot of a dead body on the bridge.
Preliminary task
The document discusses three important cinematography techniques: the 180 degree rule, which dictates that the camera stay on one side of an imaginary line between subjects to avoid disorienting changes in perspective; match on action, which edits together multiple shots of the same action to create a seamless movement; and shot reverse shot, which alternates over-the-shoulder shots of characters talking to create the illusion of a natural conversation.
Key conventions of a thriller
The document defines a thriller genre and its key elements. A thriller follows a classic structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium caused by an antagonist, then restored equilibrium. It focuses on the protagonist's battle against the antagonist to solve a mystery or catch the villain. Key conventions include low lighting, quick cuts, shadows, and diegetic sounds to build suspense. The protagonist is often a brave male hero seeking to restore order, while the antagonist has a hidden identity revealed throughout. Cinematography uses close-ups of the protagonist and quick cuts hiding the antagonist's identity. Editing employs jump cuts and cross-cutting to build suspense. Music and locations also create tension and establish the theme.
Task 4 editing
Editing involves piecing together scenes and footage to tell a story or message in a logical order. There are various techniques editors use such as continuity, match cuts, parallel editing, and establishing shots using different camera angles. The history of editing began with one continuous shot films and evolved with pioneers like Edwin Porter and D.W. Griffith introducing concepts like cutting between scenes and different shots. Editing advanced further with sound, techniques like montages, and the introduction of analogue editing machines.
Task 4 redone media document finished
There are several key techniques involved in editing video and film. Editing pieces together raw footage in a logical order to tell a story or convey a message. Some essential techniques include continuity editing to maintain consistency between scenes, match cuts to smoothly transition between related actions, and shot reverse shot to alternate between two characters in a conversation. The history of editing began with early films being single static shots but evolved with pioneers like Edwin Porter and D.W. Griffith developing new techniques like cutting between multiple storylines. Analog editing involved physically cutting and splicing tape, while digital editing now uses software.

Continuity Techniques - Media
The document discusses continuity techniques in film editing, including the 180-degree rule, shot reverse shot, and match-on-action. The 180-degree rule maintains the same spatial relationship between two characters in a scene. Shot reverse shot cuts between two characters looking at each other to imply a conversation. Match-on-action matches shots that continue the same action to create a sense of continuity for the viewer. Examples show how match-on-action can portray a character jumping across something in mid-air from different camera angles while maintaining the continuous action.
Prom night (2008)
The document provides an analysis of shots and techniques used in the trailer for the film Prom Night (2008). It summarizes several key shots: 1) Three medium shots introduce the main characters at a hair salon. 2) A low angle shot shows a girl walking down stairs in her dress to emphasize her dominance. 3) A wide shot reveals the girl's date and parents reacting to her. 4) Shots from a low angle emphasize the size of a building being approached. 5) Dim lighting is used to signify a disturbance when the horror elements begin. 6) Close ups of a mysterious figure create tension without revealing details. 7) Black and white footage is used when a story is being recounted in the past tense
Edit c
Shot reverse shot is a technique used in conversations where the camera cuts between one character talking and their reaction, then cuts to the other character and back again. 180 degree rule is important for continuity where the camera must stay on one side of an imaginary line between characters to avoid jump cuts. Match on action cuts between a character reaching for something off screen to the next shot revealing what they reached for.
Shoot List
The document provides a shoot list for filming a scene where a girl is in a tree and sees a man appear over a hill. It then lists various camera shots needed to film the girl jumping from the tree, both of them noticing each other and running downhill away from each other. The list includes shots from different angles, distances and perspectives as they run, including low angle shots, tracking shots, shots where they run towards or past the camera. It concludes by listing equipment needed for the shoot, such as ladders, cameras, tripods and a black hat.
Edit c
This document discusses several important editing concepts used in film and television including:
1) Shot reverse shot is used in conversations to cut between characters as they talk and react to one another.
2) Matching involves cutting between shots where one object or action blends into another, such as steam blending into steam.
3) The 180 degree rule is important for continuity and prevents jump cuts by restricting filming to one side of an imaginary line around the action.
4) Match on action cuts between shots where a character reaches for something off screen to the object being reached for.

This document discusses conventions in action film openings. It provides examples from The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Violence, suspense, and ignoring minor character deaths are described as typical in action openings. Shot reverse shot and revealing the villain early on through impressive camerawork are mentioned as common techniques used to set up the action and conflict.
Shot Types
Two characters in a scene must maintain the same left/right relationship to each other and not cross the axis to follow the 180 degree rule. Shots should match the action between characters and detail what is happening to clearly convey meaning using shot reverse shot or following the match on action technique.

What I have learnt using the three techniques: 180 degree rule, Match on action and Shot Reverse Shot
Continuity task research
This document discusses different continuity editing techniques that will be used in a film project. It defines match on action, shot reverse shot, and the 180 degree rule. For match on action, it provides an example of cutting between shots that continue the same action. Shot reverse shot is explained as alternating between shots of characters looking at each other. The 180 degree rule maintains the left/right relationship between characters within 180 degrees. The document notes specific scenes where these techniques will be applied, such as a conversation using continuous shot reverse shot.
180 degree rule match on action and shot types
This document discusses several filmmaking techniques including the 180 degree rule, match on action editing, and common shot types. The 180 degree rule states that the camera cannot cross an invisible axis between subjects in a scene to avoid confusing viewers. Match on action editing aligns shots to show continuity of action between takes. Common shot types covered are medium shot, two shot, shot reverse shot, extreme close-up, point of view, and aerial shot.
Video Continuity Research
The document discusses three video continuity techniques:
1) The 180 degree rule which keeps characters on the same side of an imaginary axis to maintain orientation.
2) Shot/reverse shot which cuts between shots of two characters talking, looking at and listening to each other.
3) Match on action where one shot cuts to another continuing the same action to create continuity.
Examples are provided from movies like Heat and The Matrix to demonstrate how each technique is applied.
My theoretical film analysis of fury
This document provides a summary and analysis of the introductory scenes of the film "Fury". It describes the setting being WWII through words on the screen. The introduction shows a silhouetted man walking through a deserted wartime landscape filled with tanks. He is attacked and killed by a soldier hiding behind one of the tanks. Various film techniques are discussed like match on action cuts, rule of thirds composition, and use of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. The analysis suggests the intro creates mystery and builds tension through its use of the hermeneutic and proairetic codes.

A jump cut is a transition between two shots which appears to "jump" due to the way the shots are framed in relation to each other.
Jump cuts are usually caused by framing which is quite similar, such as these two:
Film shots
This document discusses three continuity techniques used in film editing: matching on action, shot/reverse shot, and the 180 degree rule. Matching on action involves cutting between scenes of movement to create a visual bridge and hide cuts. Shot/reverse shot emulates a conversation by showing one character looking at another and then vice versa. The 180 degree rule dictates that the camera should rotate around characters on an imaginary axis between them, remaining an equal distance away and switching their positions for dialogue.
Editing work book
The document discusses techniques in film editing, providing examples from early films. It defines editing as connecting two shots into a sequence. Early filmmakers like the Lumiere Brothers used single, unedited shots while Georges Méliès used plot and editing. Sergei Eisenstein developed montage editing. The document also covers cut types, relationships between shots, and continuity editing techniques like 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. Intensified continuity refers to faster cutting pace in modern films to engage audiences. As a case study, the document analyzes editing in the Avengers film using parallel cutting and jump cuts between characters.
Editing concepts.docx khalid
The document discusses several key editing concepts used in filmmaking. The 180° rule states that characters or elements should maintain the same left/right relationship between shots. Eye line editing creates the illusion that a character is looking at an object in another shot. Shot reverse shot cutting alternates between two characters, making it seem they are looking at each other. Cross cutting and point-of-view shots also create the sense that a character can see something or someone else. Continuity editing aims to logically connect shots through techniques like match on action cuts.
Purpose of editing task 4
Video editing involves compiling raw footage and cutting/altering it to create a narrative and intended feelings. Editors have power over timing, impact, and rhythm. Editing rules can be broken for effect. Storyline is the actual order of events, while narrative is the order shown to audiences. Types of narratives include linear, non-linear, open-ended, and closed. Editing techniques like continuity, parallel cuts, cutaways, and match cuts help transition between shots coherently. Digital editing has made the process easier and more accessible.
Film Techniques
The document discusses several film techniques used in continuity editing:
1) Shot reverse shot shows two characters facing each other and then cuts between their perspectives.
2) Continuity editing aims to smoothly transition between shots in time and space to establish logical coherence.
3) Match on match films the same subject from multiple angles to imply continuity of real time.
4) The 180 degree rule states that two characters should maintain the same left/right relationship between shots to avoid disorienting the viewer.
Max Amaden - Editing techniques
This document discusses four common cinematography techniques used in filmmaking: shot reverse shot, the 180 degree rule, match on action, and eyeline match. Shot reverse shot alternates between shots of two characters conversing to show facial expressions. The 180 degree rule maintains the same spatial relationship between characters during a conversation by keeping them on the same side of an imaginary axis. Match on action cuts between a character's action and the resulting effect. Eyeline match cuts between a character looking at something and then showing what they are looking at. All of these techniques aim to provide clarity for viewers about actions, intentions, and spatial relationships between characters.
Continuity Editing Research
The document discusses various cinematography and editing techniques used to maintain a logical narrative structure in films. It defines techniques like shot/reverse shot, match on action, crosscutting, the 180-degree rule, and re-establishing shots. Examples are provided to illustrate how each technique is implemented to seamlessly transition between shots and locations.
Continuity editing
This document discusses several techniques used in film editing to maintain continuity and prevent viewer disorientation, including:
1) Diegetic sound that overlaps cuts to imply temporal continuity.
2) Matching actions before and after cuts, such as someone tossing a ball, to preserve continuity.
3) Establishing shots that show the entire scene space to help orient viewers before complex sequences of cuts.
4) Techniques like the 180 degree rule and eye line matching to guide viewer perspective between shots.
180 degree rule
The document discusses techniques used in filmmaking including the 180 degree rule, match on action, cutaways, and shot reverse shot. The 180 degree rule establishes spatial relationships between characters by keeping the camera on one side. Match on action provides continuity by cutting between shots showing the same action. Cutaways interrupt sequences to hint at future events. Shot reverse shot uses multiple cameras to film conversations between characters from different angles.

Cross cutting and point-of-view shots also create the illusion of a character looking at an object or scene. Continuity editing aims to smoothly connect shots through logical coherence. Match on action connects shots based on continuing or mirroring the same action. Montage involves piecing together separate film sections into a continuous whole.
Editing research
Here I am talking about different type of editing and what effect it will have on the audience when using this type of editing
Prelimanary research
Continuity editing uses smooth transitions between shots to maintain logical coherence and the sense that events unfold consistently in time and space. Matching action between shots shows the same action from different views, like cutting from a person walking to a door handle being turned. Shot reverse shot alternates between characters looking at each other to imply a conversation. The 180-degree rule maintains the left/right relationship between characters to avoid confusion when switching camera angles.
Editing techniques
Continuity editing combines related shots into a coherent sequence focused on the story. An eyeline match shows what a character is looking at, such as a fight scene from Star Wars. The 180 and 30 degree rules help audiences follow characters by keeping camera angles consistent. Ellipses omit unnecessary time to maintain narrative flow without long takes. Diegetic sounds are those the characters can hear, like dialogue or background noise. Matching actions between shots portrays continuous events rather than jumps.
Editing
The document discusses various film editing techniques such as shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, jump cuts, parallel editing, and dissolve transitions. It explains how individual shots are framed and linked together through editing to tell a story efficiently. Specific techniques are defined, like cutaways that show parallel action, and inserts that emphasize a different aspect of the scene. Cutting on action, or action matching, is described as editing between shots that match the energy and continuation of an action.
Filming techniques
The 180-degree rule establishes an imaginary line called the 'axis' that the camera cannot cross between a subject and the background to avoid disorienting the audience. Shot-reverse-shot is a common filming technique that alternates between two characters having a conversation. Match on action ensures continuity between cuts by keeping elements like positioning and actions the same.
Editing unit16 template
Film editing has evolved significantly since early films. Early films used long continuous shots due to technology limitations, but editing techniques later developed like montage to progress the story without irrelevant footage. Key techniques include match cuts, jump cuts, and cross cuts. Editing also aims to maintain spatial and temporal continuity through techniques like shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. Parallel editing and intensified continuity further advanced storytelling by showing simultaneous events or quick cuts between shots. Overall, editing has become more sophisticated to immerse viewers in complex narratives.

The action would appear seamless however this may have been shot on more than one occasion. Here is a further example from the film Traffic:

An example of this is from Notting Hill near the end in the book shop between Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant:
