Preliminary Task; Slaughterhouse Productions

 This is my groups preliminary task. For this task our brief was to create a short scene using 3 main shots, these shots were 180-degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot. By doing this it taught me how to use the shots correctly with a context. I was a actor in the production along with Fay while Alice and Hannah were filming.

180-degree rule; 
From doing this preliminary task I learnt that the 180 degree rule is where the shot is only on the 180 degree angle. This means that the characters that are in shot keep the same left\right relationship and stops the audience getting confused.

Match on action
I learnt that march on action is a editing technique that is commonly used to cut from one shot to another zooming onto the action that has just taken place. It connections the 2 shots to show what the character is doing. It shows the character finishing what they are doing in the 1st shot in the 2nd shot from a different angle or zoomed in.

Shot Reverse Shot 
f I learnt that shot reverse shot is a technique spilt into 3 shots. It can be of one character looking at one thing off camera then the camera pans to that certain thing on camera then pans back to the first character. This can normally be used in conversation with to characters, this is how we used it in our prelim task.
