We created this to help us understand what camera shots and rules to use whilst storyboarding and filming.

1. Important Camera
Shots

2. 180 Degree Rule
A rule stating that a camera
should be placed somewhere
inside 180 degrees on a
particular side of the invisible
line of a shot containing two
people filmed in sequence. If
the camera crosses the
line, confusion results for the
film viewers, because it makes
it look like the people are
switching places as one
watches the film.

3. Match on Action
A technique used in film
editing, is a cut that connects two
different views of the same
action at the same moment in the
movement. By carefully
matching the movement across
the two shots, filmmakers make
it seem that the motion continues
uninterrupted. For a real match
on action, the action should
begin in the first shot and end in
the second shot.

4. Shot Reverse Shot
One character is shown
looking at another character
(often off-screen), and then
the other character is shown
looking "back" at the first
character. Since the
characters are shown facing
in opposite directions, the
viewer assumes that they
are looking at each other.

5. Continuity Editing
Continuity editing refers
to arranging the sequence
of shots to suggest a
progression of events.
The purpose of continuity
editing is to smooth over
the inherent discontinuity
of the editing process and
to establish a logical
coherence between shots.
