The document discusses several cinematography techniques including continuity task, match on action, shot/reverse shot, and the 180-degree rule. Continuity task refers to keeping clothing, location, and other visual elements consistent throughout a continuous scene. Match on action involves cutting between cameras during the same point in an action to maintain flow. Shot/reverse shot shows one character looking at another and then vice versa to imply a conversation. The 180-degree rule defines an imaginary line between characters where crossing it can cause viewer disorientation.
1. Continuity task
is the idea of a continuous scene or
concept where everything must be
correct for instant clothing, and
location must not change throughout
the scene to create a effective
continuous scene
2. Match on action
• (Match on action)angle but you cut during an
action to another camera is when showing the
action from the same point in time that you
left it from the previous shot. This is important
to continue the flow of the scene.
3. Shot/reverse shot
• Shot reverse shot is as a film technique where
one character is shown looking at another
character and then the other character is
shown looking back at the first character.
Since the characters are shown facing in
opposite direction, the viewer assumes that
they are looking at each
4. 180 – degree rule
• The 180 degree rule is a very important
concept in video and film production. • It
refers to an imaginary line which cuts through
the middle of the scene, from side to side with
respect to the camera. • Crossing the line
changes the viewer's perspective in such a
way that it may cause disorientation and
confusion. For this reason, crossing the line is
usually something to be avoided.
