This week, we learned 180 degree rules. Which is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left or 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. It is very common in the film. Every film must follow 180 degree rules and do not cross the line. It is important when two characters having a conversation. 

In class, Mr. Robin shows us three different clips. they are better to show the 180 degree rules. The first one is in a bar. when S and B having a conversation, the camera always keeps in one side of them to male a reverse angle shot. When they are talking to each other, we can cut from medium close up to close up shot. The second one is also in a bar. But there are more than 5 people to present. So the camera has also follows 180 degree rules. The camera is switch to another side when the story is changing. It makes sense. I found last on is very interesting. This scene is on the street. A woman is running and following the bus. She is talking to the bus driver. And the bus driver is looking and talking to her. Then the accident happened. The camera always keeps one side even the fast movement. the camera is changing from the third perspective to the first POV. When the audience watching the film. They will they are the character in the film. And the frame is cut faster and faster when the accident happened to make the audience feel the tension.

We got 5 different scripts on Thursday. I will try to film two of them may be to see how it goes.
