Lesson 2 media definitions.
Match on action: is a simple yet quite effective technique used, it’s as the scene continues the perspective of the camera changes as the scene continues, this shot gives the sense of continuation rather than a stop and start, this shot directs the viewers attention away from the slight cutting imperfections and helps the “flow” of the scene, the flow of the scene is important because you don’t want the viewer to feel the first and second art to be different, you want them to see both parts in one sight, to see the same action in both parts.
Shot/reverse shot: when 2 characters are seen, both often on screen and facing in opposite directions so the viewer naturally assumes that they are facing each other, used for continuation similarly to the match on action shot, this can also show a character focussing on an object or conversation, this shot is often tied with the 180 degree rule so the viewers sight of the scene is not out of shape.
180 degree rule: is when 2 characters are aligned and the camera angle is not allowed to pass the 180 degree mark, they are only allowed to fill one side = 180 degrees, this rule is maintained in a conversation for example, this shot allows the audience to get a in depth sense of locations and atmosphere.
