Post 3: Continuity

Definition of continuity: is when a motion- picture scenario gives the complete scene, action etc. it is put in the order in which they are meant to be shown on the screen.


Shot/ reverse shot and 180 degrees rule.

 The shot/ reverse shot means that you show a person over the other persons shoulder and then you would do the same thing but face the camera on the different person.

 These two pictures show the idea of shot reverse shots. To understand this you have two people in the shot and in the first shot you can see person 1 over person 2 shoulder. In the next shot you can see person 2 over person 1 shoulder and this is the reverse shot.

Post 2: Storyboard Drawing, Shot Sizes and Framing

In this post it shows as story board of the different shot sizes and the differences between them. I have also shown pictures that I have taken to show the shot sizes. I have also researched the Rule Of Thirds, which is showing a picture that has been split up into nine sqaures.

Section A

This is the different shot sizes that you can use. It shows what should be in different shots, e.g. in a close up shot there is no headroom whereas in a medium close up there is headroom.

Section B                             



Extreme Close Up



Close Up




















 

Medium Close Up (MCU)

Medium Shot (MS)



 





















3/4 Shot



Medium Long Shot (MLS)









 



 

                                                                       

Long Shot (LS)

 







                                                                                         

Section C

Rule Of Third

The rule states that an image should be divided into nine equal sections, two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

<-- These are examples of the rule of thirds.

This is an example of the rule of thirds being broken. The picture has not ben split up equally into nine squares they are different sizes.

Post 1: Preliminary Task Introduction

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, when he/she exchamge a couple of lines of dialogue.This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
