Match On Action, Shot/Reverse Shot & The 180º Rule

Match On Action- occurs when an action continues in another shot. This occurs in both our continuity task and thriller introduction.

Shot/Reverse Shot- when characters appear to be looking at each other, but are not in the same shot. We could use this in one of our thriller scenes where there is a conversation at a table.

The 180º Rule- this is when there is an imaginary axis which the camera should not pass over, otherwise it could confuse the audience. I have put this line/axis in on the shooting maps for both our continuity task and thriller introduction.
