Prelim: Planning

This lesson we were working on camera angles and learnt about the 180° rule. The video below explains what the 180° rule in media/film is. 


 Our brief was to film a person walking into a room and taking part in an activity which consisted of an interaction with someone. We had to ensure that at least one match-cut, shot-reverse-shot were used; as well as showing our understanding of the 180° rule by not breaking it.

Our group decided to set and film a poker game because it would help to demonstrate a good use and understanding of the 180° rule. We would also be able to put into practice our understanding of other shot types such as over-the-shoulder shots and close ups. 

For this activity we needed some props: 
sunglasses - used to hide identity of character to add mystery
drink & cups - create an atmosphere that they are in a casino
money - for the poker game
cards - for the poker game
hat
