Pre-Production | thriller

Brief

My preliminary task was to create a minute long scene with continuity editing techniques such as the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot.

Shot reverse shot:

This camera movement is a form of continuity editing, which shows a scene from different viewpoints of the characters. This gives the impression that the characters are looking at each other.

Match on action:

This is an editing technique which involves one shot being portrayed from different angles.

180 degree rule:

this is a camera movement which involves the camera staying on the same side of the ‘axis’ connected to two subjects. This axis is perpendicular to the camera’s viewpoint.
