PRELIM : TASK SET

Within my team, there was a task which was to create a piece of filming, around 30-40 seconds long that included certain types of shots; these shots included a ‘Match on action’ ‘shot, reverse shot’s’ ‘180 degree rule’ as well as a shot of a person going through a door, then crossing the room and then eventually sitting down – there must be conversation between the two people within the shot.

• A face-to face conversation between two characters.
• A character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.
• This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
• Final edit should be 30 Seconds in length.
