So, our first task is to create a short film opening. This involves a character opening a door, walking across a room, sitting down opposite another character and exchanging a few lines of dialogue.
Within our opening, we must use some important shot types. Here they are along with the definitions:
Match-on-action - where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shots action; it's a form of continuity editing.
180 degree rule - a basic guideline that states two characters in the same scene should have the same relationship. You must not cross the 180 degree line from both characters.
Shot reverse shot - an editing style to present the scene in a linear and chronological manner, typically used in conversation to quicken the pace e.g. arguments.
I'm working with Katie, Jess and Lauren to produce a mystery film opening!
