In our preliminary task we used match on action. Our actor (Matty Folkes) is filmed walking up to the door with a medium shot, we then cut to a close up of him opening the door and then back to a medium shot of him walking through the door. This is an example of match on action, giving our shot a sense of continuity.
Since learning the basics of shot reverse shot, match on action and the rule of 180° we have now since tried to incorporate these in our final product where appropriate. Match on action is a continuity shot which is similar to shot reverse shot but unlike shot reverse shot is not used during conversations, it is infact used when portraying the actions of a character. Shot reverse shot is used in many films during conversations between characters to show facial expressions and dialogue. The 180° rule is a guideline meaning filming must take place within an 180 degree angle, which is maintained during conversation. We used the 180 degree angle during the beginning shot of our opening scene as our characters walk into the woods. We didn't find any convenient scenes in our introduction to include shot reverse shot and match on action.
In our final product we used a variety of shot types, particularly medium and long shots. We also used the point of view shot twice in the opening scene. This proves our group have learnt different filming techniques since our preliminary tasks.
