Research and Understanding.

In order to begin our prelim task, we needed to have a basic understanding of certain concepts.
We watched a video about filming a shot reverse shot correctly.

The video explained the main aspects of a shot reverse shot and had an example of a good one. It showed us how to establish a relationship between characters and how to show emotion during the shots.

I also did some further research into the 180° rule. I watched a video clip explaining what it is and how to do it right.

 By watching these videos, it helped me to gain greater understanding of filming and how to film conversations using different techniques and how to use the way we film a conversation to create different effects for the audience, for example breaking the 180° rule to disorientate the audience. The 180° clip also showed how the rule works when applied to 3 people, which will become useful when doing the filming for our thriller.
