180 Degree Rule & Shot/Reverse/Shot

23/10/12

             Today, we practiced with the camcorders on how to achieve the two film techniques: the 180 degree rule, consisting of the camera being positioned vertically opposite the subjects. The Shot/Reverse/Shot, consisting of the filming of character 1, shown over character 2’s shoulder, then reversed to show character 2 from over character 1’s shoulder, then back again to the original shot.
