Production Projects
Produce a continuity exercise which involves a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite to a character, with whom they exchange a couple of lines of dialogue.
The task should demonstrate:
Match on action - Where the perspective of the shot will change during a scene to focus on an object or action, the shot is different and may be from a different perspective however it is still the same action.
Shot/reverse shot - Where one character is looking at another character (usually not in screen view) and the other character is shown looking back so the audience assumes they are talking to each other when they are not on screen.
180 degree rule - Which is a basic guideline in all film-making, an imaginary line called the axis. Film shots can only happen on one side of the axis in a certain scene. The first character must always remain on the right side and the second on the left.
