Elliot Fitzpatrick - Media Shots Definition

180 degree rule. 
The 180 degree rule is an imaginary line that is drawn though the frame, this is called the axis. Keeping the camera makes things like interview better because person 1 will always stay on the right side of the frame and person 2 will always stay on the left side of the frame. Moving the camera to the other side of the “axis” makes the frame flip causing person 1 to be on the left of the frame and person 2 to be on the right of the frame.

Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique that films the face of 1 actor who is speaking and once he has finished it cuts to another scene of the 2nd actor who is in the conversation. They do this because it lets us see their full face so we can read their emotion. It also makes the scene less boring for the viewer as the camera is always changing and we can get a better feel for how the actor reacts. 















Match and action 
Match and action is when you film someone walking up to a door and when he gets to the door and opens it you then record him exiting the door on the other side. This allows the action shot to carry on in another place. Another example would be when throwing a ball of paper into a bin. First you film the thrower and then you record the paper falling into the bin. Even if the thrower doesn’t get the paper in the bin the editing makes it look like he did in the first attempt.
