Preliminary task

Hello,

So we have been set our first proper task. It is to film a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. I am in a group with Jack Geary and Spencer Graham. We must correctly use the 180 degree rule which is shown in the diagram below:

 

The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another . When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a reverse angle.
