180 degree Rule (Sony NX5)
180 degree rule is the idea of keeping the aspect of the scene, no matter were the next shot is, in the same 180 degree area. For example, a conversation between two people, person A on the left, person B on the right, if the 180 degree rule is kept, then this should always stay the same, if it doesn't then the aspect of the scene changes and everything looks out of place, as the focus aspect will have changed.
First we were taught how the worked and how a lack of the 180 degree rule would make films look, using a toy car to demon straight the idea.
We were then taught briefly about filming scenes, and the different shots that we could have to incorporate perspective, all the while maintaining the 180 degree rule. There was also an explanation into how this would work in editing.
We were then sent off into groups to try the techniques ourselves, by filming a simple and short scene that incorporated different camera angles and perspectives, maintaining the 180 degree rule. We then split off into different groups and did this again, and then we had all of the footage reviewed.
