Rule of

Thirds

Rule of thirds is where the shot of the camera

is divided into nine split sections, with four
key intersecting points within the central shot,
to highlight where the key areas where the
audiences eyes are most likely to focus. The
Rule of thirds can also be described as the
camera mans guideline.

Shot Reverse
Shot

Shot reverse shot is when the shot focuses on

one character, with usually the back of
another characters head in the shot, used to
imply that a conversation/dialogue between
two characters is taking place to the
audience, which seems natural and that no
editing has taken place.

Match on
Action

This type of shot is to demonstrate a clear

flow of a characters actions, within a
recording. Various shots are used from
different angles to make this flow seem more
interesting and realistic, however if the shots
dont match correctly, then it becomes poor
and doesnt work.

180 degree
rule

The 180 degree rule shot is when two

characters are positioned within a shot and
the camera moves from various positions, but
whats going on in the scene must be kept the
same at all times, and only the camera must
move.
