180 degree rule, match-on-action and shot-reverse shot examples

To show our understanding of shot types, we used these clips from our Preliminary Task

180 degree rule:

The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline where an imaginary line called the axis connects 2 characters by keeping on eon one end of the axis for every shot in a scene, and the other on the other end of the axis. The camera should not cross this line. In some circumstances film makers choose to for the effect of causing confusion however. But we havent here, our 180 degree rule is portrayed in the car when the camera keeps on the same side of the line the whole sequence (the back seats) this makes it clear who is the driver and who is the passenger.

Match on Action:

Match on Action is a technique used in films where 2 shots are connected to create one smooth flowing motion as a character moves. A character will finish off an action in the second shot so in our example the kidnapper (getting into the car) from the action he started in the first clip (opening the door)

Shot Reverse Shot:

A shot reverse shot is a  combination of two shots which shows one character looking at another character and then the other one looking back at the other from there perspectives, this example is shown in the car when the driver and passenger share dialogue, another good example of this comes from the film Light Sleeper (Below)
