1. Match on action (Continuity editing)
This is how you make the different shots run together smoothly. If there is an action going on, to capture it using more than 1 shot you must use continuity editing. This is where you pick up the action in the new shot where you left it in the previous one.
E.G. A close-up of a door handle being turned is followed by a tracking shot of the person opening the door.
2. The 180* rule
When shooting a scene, you must not cross the 180* line. This is an imaginary line or boundry that stops you from filming anything outside a 180* scope. Apparently if you cross this line the film could become dissorientating for the audience.
3. Shot/reverse shot convention
This must be used at some point in your prelim task. It is when a shot is repeated, but on the opposite side that it was originally. It can be used in exchanges between characters.
E.G. Over the shoulder shot, or POV shot.
