Welcome to my blog, at the moment I'm on my AS Media Studies course. This blog is designed to contain a record of all the research and planning, leading up to the production of our slasher film (tentatively entitled 'Red Christmas'...)

Prelim Task

Below is the video we made as part of the preliminary task in our media studies unit.



In the task, we had to include three different continuity, editing and shot types. The 180 degree rule states that when two characters are facing each other, the camera should always remain on one side of an imaginary line between them; crossing the line can disorientate the viewer. Match on action is a technique that joins two separate shots together by continuing an action begun in the first one; to the viewer it looks like on fluid continuous movement. Shot reverse shot is an old type of camera shot, when one character is shown, then the other character looking at the first character.
