Before attempting to create our very own 'tour de force', I had to have a good understanding of basic production terms and camera angles. To begin with Mr. Hardt gave an introduction of the preliminary task. We quickly learnt the technical language and began the planning for what lies ahead!
Key terms
Match On Action - Action started in one shot which is continued in the next. E.g. an exterior shot of your character opening the door is followed by an interior shot of your character entering a room.
Shot/Reverse Shot - When the camera switches back and forth, usually with the dialogue, often over the shoulder shot.
180 Degree Rule - The camera doesn't cross the 'line of actions' otherwise the characters will appear on the otherside of the screen, causing confusion.
The link below provided me with vital information on camera shots and angles!
