The scenario of this exercise was to create a scene where the character opens a door, opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. For the scenario we could choose the characters ourselves depending on the personality the character play. A benefit from the scenario was that we could choose any topic for it to be based on with the use of dialogue and acting.
Shot Reverse Shot - Shot shows character looking at another character in a conversation format. This is mostly used as an Over the Shoulder Shot and goes from one shot, to another shot and then back to the previous shot. This specific shot was a scene between Dre and Ava where they were both wary of their safety. I had appropriately applied many shot reverse shots whilst filming their scene.
Rule of Thirds - The picture inside the camera screen is split into six small boxes - the rule is that the persons eyes should be perfectly aligning with the first horizontal line on the grid.Throughout filming, the characters eyeline match should be aligned consistently as it would make the continuity more clearer. This specific shot was taken during Dre interrogation scene with Sheema
Match on Action - is a cut that occurs midway through a shot and goes from one shot to the next but has to end with a smooth finish. This allows the audience to have an immersive experience while watching.
180 Degree Rule - when filming the shot, the camera mustn't go further than 180 degrees and must stay on the same side of the room. If this rule is not followed, the shot will be interpreted differently and it will look like the characters have changed position or not making the correct eye contact. In our scenario the 180 degree was easy to achieve in an interview environment - just had to stay on one side of the two actors.
