Today I, Kim, Janice and Charlotte made lots of different videos from many different angles that show our skills which will be really useful and helpful for us in future media studies.
While recording all the videos we learned several rules, such as 180 degree rule. The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states those two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
As well as recording we did editing which was a little bit harder than the first part. In the editing we use lots of things that we learned with our teacher. But there weren’t a lot of new techniques used because this was our first editing
The other thing that we learned is the match on action. A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot. This was very useful on the editing part of our day. This was something new and interesting.
The hardest in the editing was the shot reverse-shot because Kim and Charlotte spoke really fast and it was really hard to catch the right moment to stop the video and cut it in the right place. Shot reverse-shot (or shot/counter shot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
