Three Rules

In our lesson we learnt about the three rules the first one is shot reverse shot. This is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and that person is looking at the other character.





We learnt about the 180 degree rule this is where there is two characters that are sat opposite. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters this means that the right of one characters is always the left of the other character. The camera is always meant to be faced towards the characters.






 To the left is an example

This is an editing technique where one shot cuts to another shot. This also draws the viewers attention away from slight cutting and also causes the shot to flow better. If a character begins an action shot and completes it in the next, a visual bridge is created which acts to cover up the cut from one to another.
