Preliminary Task "Working Progress"

Hi Everyone!

First post for group T2-59, lots of things to say both good and bad but at the end we all felt we had a good working and guideline met short film =]

So for the first film there were a few hick-ups that we had to deal with, somehow during our first editing session we managed to delete half of our film 'lol' but managed to find it again, but we did and all is well now but a few of us did cry at the possibility that we had to re-film the ENTIRE film again, not saying any names...jace...

Ok so that's pretty much our first post hope its been fun reading it we'll update soon. =]

Preliminary Task T2-59

T2-59 PRELIMINARY TASK - YR12_2009 from SATMEDIASTUDIES on Vimeo.

180 Degree Rule:
This rule applies to all conversation recordings in interviewing and sports ect... It is highly recommended that this rules apply to all conversations. This ensures that there is no confusion on the characters positions in scene, it's hard to explain but if you can imagine, the characters would jump from being on the right side of the screen to the left, if you do not abide by this rule.
This is shown below:



What is continuity editing?
This is the progression of a scene where all clips run smoothly. They don't jump around, they continue through until the end. To provide a smooth feel over the inherent discontinuity of cuts.

Match on Action:
This term is associated with a type of filming/editing, it means to link together two different cuts instantaniously, e.g. opening a door - to - walking through.

Shot Reverse Shot:
This technique is often used when two charecters are having an conversation. The first shot is always of one charecter facing off screen, then the camera cuts to another charecter "Replying" also off-screen, looking in a different direction. This is to give the impression they are looking at each other. Makes the flow of a conversion very easy to keep up with.
