180 degree rule• The 180 degree rule states that the

camera should stay on the same side of an imaginary line and not to cross that line. • The point in having this rule is to enforce

continuity in the film.• An example is, a car is coming from the

left in one scene, the next shot must show that the car is still entering the frame from the same place, the left. If this rule is broken then the audience will get confused especially in chase scenes, in conversations or sports.

Match on Action• A match on action shot is sometimes

known as a cutting on action shot.• It is where the editor would cut from one

view of the action to another that matches the first shot.

• An example that we plan to include in our video is when the protagonist opens the door, but we will have an over the shoulder shot of the protagonist opening the door but as the door clicks we will switch to a medium shot and we will time it so that the click of the door fits perfectly.

Shot-Reverse-Shot• A shot reverse shot is a technique

that shows a character looking at another character.• The next shot would be the other

character looking back at the first character. • This is usually used in

conversations and we plan to use it in our video.
