Our brief is to show understanding of continuity editing. Me and my partner interpreted the brief by having one angry character entering a room demanding the other character for money. The other character claims that he does not have the money and then the other character storms out of the room shouting 'I'll be back'. From the preliminary task we learnt new shots to use in our task.
One of the new shots we learnt was the 180 degree rule. This is where it orients the viewer in the scene and maintains their physical relationship to each other. Another one of the new shots we learnt was the shot/reverse shot. This is done by showing one character looking at another character and then the other character looking back at the first character, therefore, the viewer unconsciously assumes that they are looking at each other. We used this in ours when the first character comes into the room and speaks to the other character. This worked how we wanted it to as we didn't have to film a shot where they were both in it just to show that there are now two characters. One more shot we learnt was the eyeline match. This begins with a character looking at something off-screen, there will then be a cut to the object or person at which he is looking, for example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television. The last shot that we learnt was the match-on-action. This is more than one shot to show the same thing by cutting from one shot to another. We used this type of shot a lot in our task as we thought it worked extremely well in showing the same thing but in many different shots. For example, we used it when the character was about to enter the room. We decided to do many different cuts of the same shot to make it look more interesting and letting the audience see it from different points of view.
