Continuity Task

Our continuity task follow the same conventions as;

• Shot-reverse-shot                                                                                                                                   -This is used to show a two way conversation, where the camera points at whoever is talking and sometimes cuts between each character to show their response or reaction to what is happening.
• 180 degree rule                                                                                                                                      -This is also used to film a conversation but sometimes we can see all the characters in the shot at once, the idea is for the camera to stay within 180 degrees so that the characters stay on the same sides and thus causing less confusion for the audience
• Match on action                                                                                                                                      -The best way to explain match on action is to give an example, it's like when the camera films someone walking up to a door and you see them go to reach for the door handle and suddenly the camera cuts to give us a close up view of that person either going for the handle, or filming them from the other side of the door and coming through.
