Task 1.

Task 2.
Continuity.
Continuity explains a detailed script used in making a film in order to avoid discontinities from shot to shot. Allowing the various scenes to be shot out of order.

Tasks 3.

2.
Shot-Reverse-Shot.
For example, Shot - reveres- shot, describes the viewing of a reaction from one person to another so the shot reverses so you can see the other reaction within the conversation . Within Shot- reverse shot you see firstly the persons shoulder and then the other person face, so its clear that two people are in the shot and shows the person is talking to someone. Then secondly the shot reverses to the other person and repeats the shoulder. However the shot has been move opposite to see the same angle from the different viewing.
as described clearly in the following images.
Although Shot reverse shot is not only used to show conversation it is used clearly in other aspects.
Match on action.

2.
Match on action, mirrors whats happening in shot A , to shot B it shows that the camera movement has to be the same in each shot. for example coming down the stairs the foot has to be on the same stair in each shot.

1.
180 degree rule/crossing the line

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+180+degree+rule&meta

2.
The 180 Degrees rule express a basic ruling in the film making. This states that two characters (or other elments) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line.

Storyboard Drawing, Shot Sizes and Framing


Section A:

In section A i will show basic storyboarding techniques. Different shot sizes and my clear understanding of these shot size and camera techniques.

Section B Part 1&2
Below are a number of different shot sizes displaying the differenc in more detailed than the above story board.

Extreme close up (ECU)
 

Close UP (CU)






Medium Close Up Shot (MCU)


 Medium Shot (MS)



3/4 shot
Medium Long Shot (MLS)

Long Shot (LS)



Section B:part 3

Rule of Third
The rule expresses that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

Section: C
This breaks the rule of third because the main element is not in a intersection or divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines
















However this explains the Rule of third because its placed in its intersection and divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines.
