Planning for encouter

This week I've learnt what the rules of thirds are.

 The first rule is  match on action and match of action is basically two pieces of footage that flow from one to the other.

 The second rule is shot reverse shot and the shot revise shot is where you take a shot from person a’s point of view and then cut to person b’s point of view then back to person a’s point of view.

Then there’s the third rule which is the 180 degree rule you can go 180 degrees however if you go over you've broken the rule. Think of it like a semi circle you can only go on one side if you go over go on other side you've confused the audience so you always stay on one side.

I also learnt about transition.

Transitions: A transition is how you move one shot to another.

Fade to black: A fade to black transition is when you have a shot and then it fades to black to finish the scene.

Fade from black: A fade from black transition is when you want to start a new scene.

Dissolve: A dissolve/cross fade scene is when one image changes to another scene.

A establishing shot: A establishing shot is an extreme long shot and it also sets the scene.

Medium close up: A medium close up is a safety shot it shows you half of the persons body.

Close up: A close up is a shot that is giving you a characters facial expressions and feelings in detail. It also builds a relationship between the character and the audience.

Angles: You can take a shot from two angels on is a high angle which makes a character look small then there is the low angle that makes the character look big.

Canted angle: A canted angle is an angle that the camera is taken from the side to create an affect to make you think that something isn't right.

Pan: A pan is a side no side movement.

Track: A track is when the camera follows the action.

This week I also learned about filming and how to do it. Me and my brother had to create a scenario for the film.
