Post 6 - Shot List and Storyboard

Here we have the shot list behind our group, we stuck to the design given to us on the blog but obviously imputed our information into the columns respectively. We had to use the same amount of columns in the shot list because they had to match.  

Storyboard

Post 5 - Jump cuts, over-the-shoulder shots, cutaways, and point of view shots.

Jump Cuts - A cut to later action from one filmed scene to the next, creating an effect of discontinuity or acceleration. Jump cuts are often used to create an immediate transition from one shot to the next. Here (below) is an example of a jump cut.

Over the shoulder shot - This shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view. It's common to cut between these shots during a conversation, alternating the view between the different speakers. Here (below) is an example of an over the shoulder shot.

Cutaways - this is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut. Here (below) is an example of a cutaway shot. 

Point of view shots - also known as a POV shot, this is where the camera is showing what a certain character sees, by filming from their point of view. Her (below) is an example of a point of view shot.

Post 4 - Script writing

Here is the script for our group. We intend to use techniques such as the shot reverse shot whilst sticking to the 180 degree rule. In our preliminary task we will use the camera techniques mentioned in our filming to show that we know and understand how to use these techniques from continuity editing. The script is fairly short as the film is only supposed to be short. We sat around and brainstormed the ideas before I took centre stage and wrote the script shown above, I chose to do this because I have previously had experiences in writing scripts before and so it was not much of a challenge for me to write down the directions and dialogue whilst sticking to the traditional script format.

Post 3 - Continuity

Continuity editing is editing that creates action that flows smoothly across shots and scenes without jarring visual inconsistencies. Establishes a sense of story for the viewer. To see more information on Continuity Editing Click Here!There are several sections in continuity editing, they include 180 degree rule

180 degree rule
180 degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called 'the axis' connects the characters together by keeping the characters on the same side for each shot in a scene. For more information on the 180 degree rule click here.

Shot reverse shot
A film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer unconciously assumes that they are looking at each other.

Match on action

Match on action is a very sinple but essential tenchique, where the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues to flow.

To show my understanding of the 180 degree rule, I have taken 3 photographs of my fellow pupils talking with each other, making sure I stick to the 'invisible line' in the 180 degree rule.

Here you can see that both people in each of the photos always appear on their respective sides. As we can see this, the 180 degree rule has not been broken.
