Match on action

Match on action a continuity editing technique. A match-on-action is when an edit takes place in the middle of an action. For example, shot one might show a person sitting down while shot two shows them standing up. The cut occurs during the movement from sitting to standing. I thought in my group we used match on action quite effectively, you can clearly see in the first few seconds of the scene we incorporated match on action. We had a bit of trouble with editing or clip so the match on action technique was perfect but I think we got there in the end with a few adjustments. I think that our group worked really hard in making sure that the audience saw that match on action was used correctly. Filmmakers use match on action to connect two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement.


Shot reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot or also known, as shot/counter shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking at another character often off-screen, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. I think that we found it quite easy to apply shot reverse shot to our clip because it is in my opinion one of the more easy shots in the filming building. We also found it quite easy to edit or shot reverse shots also so I quite enjoyed this part of our filming because it did not cause us as much problems as the other shots. Film makers use shot reverse shot so that the audience persieves one continuous action.


Eyeline match

Eyeline match is when shots are matched by the linkage from the gaze of one character towards another character. If character A looks down to see character B, character B will look up to see character A. one again our group had a bit of trouble with this filming technique because of the way we filmed it and decided to edit it and also because of continuity. Eventually we found a way to make it work and in the end it looked quite good. Filmmakers use eye line match so that the audience understand and know where the characters are facing and looking

180 Degree

The 180° Degree rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters or other elements in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. To ensure that we did not pass that invisible line we had to check every shot because the 180 degree rule is so important but we succesfully achieved this. We just had to ensure that the camara was at the side all the time no matter what the angle. Filmmakers use the 180 degree because it is important for the audience to understand what side each acter is on weather the left or right and if you brake this imagenery line it will seem like they are oon the same side.


w.w.w

I think that we cut the scenes really well and also the use of the camera and the techniques using the equipment was really good.
I also thought that some of the techniques for example match on action and eyeline match went very well.I am personally getting better at understanding the separate use of techniques needed to be a good filmmaker and to make good films. I was more vocal than I normally was and also I got on with my group really well as everyone was aloud to give there individual input and this helped us to make and even better clip as we all enjoyed it.


E.B.I

We need to improve on the handling of the camera because in one part of the clip the camera was shaking noticeably and also we need to make less mistakes within the filming of clips or movies so it cuts down on waste of time.
