Preliminary tasks notes

Shot reverse shots is a film technique where one character is shown looking at an other character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character, since the cahracters are shown facing the opposite direction the viewe addumes that they are looking at eachother

                                                                           ---

The 180 degree rule  is when the camera should be placed somewhere inside 180 degrees on a particular side of the person(s) being filmed. This shot makes it look like the people are switching places as one watches the film.

Match on action is a very sinple but important  tenchique, this is when the perspective and view of the camera changes during a certain scene but that scene continues to flow

Camera Shots/Movements

Oblique: Sometimes the camera is tilted to suggest imbalance, transistion and instablity. This technique is used to suggest point of view shots.

Types of Camera Movements:

• Panning
• Tilting
• Travelling
• Dollying in and out
• Dollying/Tracking/Crabbing along side

Panning: Describes the location or follows the action, gets a much more wider shot of the scene
Tilting: Describes a person in raltion to the place they are in. Can be used to reveal a location in stages to build suspense or shock.
Travelling: Can create a first person perspective, put the audience in the eyes of the character
Dollying in and out: Depends on speed, dollying in to a still object can be quite unsettling if at speed and it emphasis the importance of the object, dollying builds up tension, and can make the place feel claustphobic and can make the audience feel pulled
Dollying/Tracking/Crabbing along side: Builds up anticipitation if you are dollying along with a moving object, describes the place but makes you feel like you are on a journey, to arrive to the next scene
