As a part of our media AS work, we are assigned to groups of 3/4 people in our class, completing the preliminary and main task.

The preliminary task was a short film of someone entering a room and interrogating another character, including only a couple of lines of dialogue.

When we were doing the preliminary task it taught us how to use three different techniques; the 180° degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot.

Match -on-action: A continuity cut which unites two different views of the same action together at the same moment in the movement, making the clip flow and continue.

Shot/reverse shot: Any pair of shots edited in which the second shot reveals what is on the other side of the previous shot

180 degree rule: The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other
