Preliminary exercise:

For this exercise we have been tasked with creating a short clip. In this clip we have to demonstrate basic filming and editing skills. The clip itself has to contain a character opening a door, crossing a room and then sitting down in a chair opposite another character, which then the two will exchange dialogue.
This clip will demonstrate:
match on action: An editing technique that helps show continuity of which one shot cuts to another showing the object in action.
shot/reverse shot: Another continuity technique that is used mostly in two way convocations, or someone looking at an object.
the 180-degree rule: This shows two shots that are linked by 180 degrees
The finished peice will be about two mins in length and wont have an established plot, it is merely a task to show our skills in creating a filmed sequence.
