Our second lesson in
the shooting studio
Yesterday was our
second lesson when we went to the shooting studio .Matt was teaching us how to make a combination of
shots which to stick together will make a sequence .
He told us about the 180-degree rule which as
he explained is a basic guidline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship
between the chracter and another character or object within a scene . An
imaginary line called the axis which connects the chracters , and by keeping
the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene , the first
camera is always frame rigght of the second character , who is then always
frame left of the first . The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or cossing the line ; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all
sides is known as shooting in the round.
The object that is being filmed must always remain the center , while the
camera must always face towards the object , but if you really need to cross
the line , you need to use a neutral shot (middle photo) . The neutral shot
starts a fresh state allowing you to
cross the line with out confusion . Matt also told us that we cant only make a
close up shots as it just wont look nice and neat .
After that we were in groups of
three making our own small sequence . Katie was our actress . We made 5 shots .
Some of them we close up of Katie's face or phone , others were middle shots .
The plot for our really short film was that Katie had to come and sit on the
sofa , take her phone , look at it and put the phone back .
It was a really good experience for all of us .
