Script Writting

Script Annotations:

Hugo: For the opening of our piece we will shoot both sides of the door in order to get the best sound and match on action. This is so that our piece flows a lot smoother and isn't jumpy.

Connor: For the over the shoulder shot reverse shot we will have to keep the camera in the same place on either side. This is in order to keep to not only the rule of continuity but also the 180° rule. This is so that its not too jerky for the viewer.

John:  We used a  low camera angle on our second shot of Harrison, it showed him as a character with status although during the interview it is the interviewer Ron Gilbert is the one with the power where he asks personal an pressuring questions.

Jump Cuts, Over-The-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point Of View Shots

Jump Cuts: A jump cut is a transition between multiple shots which appears to "jump". this is because the way the shots have been framed in correlation. Jump cuts are usually caused by framing, which can be quite similar.

Example of a jump cut.


Over-The-Shoulder Shot:
In film or video, an over the shoulder shot Or and OTS  is a shot of someone taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image that thecamera  will be pointing towards  


Point of View
A point of view shot or a pov  is a short film scene that shows what the subject is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually done  by being positioned between a shot of a subject  looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction which is simlair to a reverse shot.

Continuity

So  What is continuity?

In fiction, continuity  or  time-scheme is consistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the  viewer  in a certain scene . It is of relevance to several media audiences
Continuity is particularly a concern in the production of film and television due to the difficulty of  correcting an error in continuity after shooting.
For example in Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines the number on the tail of the plane clearly changes threwout the flim.
Its Highly important to keep continuity in a flim because it can confuse the viewer further more it can aslo pull the viewer out of the atmosphere and break suspenison.This would mean the viewer would become dettached from the flim and lose intrest  quickly.





The 180° Rule:
In film making, the 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters  in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Shot Sizes and Framing

Extreme Close Up: This shot is used for showing emotion on a characters face, although it could also be used to show the importance of a certain object.

Establishing Shot: This shot is used to introduce a new location that is of signifficnace, for example a director may choose to use this shot when he is showing the audience where a character lives.

Preliminary brief

In groups of no more then 4. 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 he/she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.this task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 189 degree rule.
