180 degree-shot/reverse/shot-establishing shot; Week One. Tuesday 16th October 2012.

Week one. 

Tuesday 16th October 2012. 

In this lesson we learn’t about the rules and techniques which was the 180degree rule, which means the actors stay on one side of the line and don’t cross it, also the shot/ reverse/ shot which begins with an establishing shot, then focuses on character 2 looking over character ones shoulder then reverses so focuses on character 1 looking over character 2’s shoulder then back to the original we also created storyboards which we had a specific story line to adapt to. 

This piece of work we did was to portray the 180 degree rule, shot/reverse/shot and also establishing shot.

 This was a piece of home work we had to do which we had to show our understanding on using 180 degree rule, shot/reverse/shot and establishing shot, we had to include dialogue.

 This is a storyboard showing us going to film in the 180 degree rule style.

180 degree rule-

Show’s the positions where the characters are, once they are in there positions they cant move from their side.

E.g   girl on the right, boy on the left.

Shot/Reverse/shot-

Shot reverse shot is where there’s an establishing shot showing where both characters are, then there’s the shot looking over character 1’s shoulder facing character 2, then a shot of looking over character 2 shoulders facing character 1, then another shot of looking over characters 1s shoulder facing character 2, then there’s the last establishing shot.
