Continuity

Continuity is where something has the state or quality of being continous.

My definition of continuity in media is that everything that is involved in media from blogging all the way through to filming is of a continous and repetitve sequence.

Crossing the line is a very important concept in video and film production. It refers to an imaginary line which cuts through the middle of the scene, from side to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line changes the viewer's perspective in such as way that it causes disorientation and confusion. For this reason, crossing the line is something to be avoided.
Please look at the link given for a further in depth definition of the 180 degree rule in media - 180 Degree Rule.

Shot-Reverse-Shot is a staple of editing in dialogue sequences. It utilizes the 180 degree rule, the eye line match, and rule of change among others. First things first, a definition of what shot/reverse shot is: Shot-Reverse-Shot

 In this post i have attched my own storyboard, with 7 differant camera angles which will be used in my production. I have also attached 7 differant photos that i have taken in whihc represent the differant camera angles i have drawn in my storyboard. Throughout my storyboard there are a variety of differnat shots from an extreme close-up to a long shot.

The rule of thirds

 This link explains the rule of thirds in brief detail ; Rule Of Thirds.

This is a perfect picture displaying the 'rule of thirds'
technique, as you are able to see the eye of the bee is
the centre of attention. This is a beautiful picture with
the bright colours from the bee and the plant being
emphasised well.







This picture shows that the rule of thirds is not always
necessary in order to take a good photograph. As you can
see, the plant is centered covering the entire photo space,
this brings out the center of the plant and its bright colours.



Preliminary Task Introduction

This is a continual task in which you are required to involve filming and editiing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in chair that is opposite of the other character, there is then going to be an exchange of dialogue, only a couple of line.this task should match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
