3 aims to make my preliminary task LEGEND wait for it...DARY!!!

You'll got to love Barney Stinson for that line! XD

Anyway, as most of you media studies students will know, in year 12 you have to do a preliminary task which is basically warming you up to the final filming assessment.

So, without further ado, let's go through the aims of this task.

1.Continuity editing (also called continuity system) which is a high standardised system of editing that is used a lot in TV and film. It aims to present a scene so that the editing is invisible (i.e not consciously noticed by the viewer/audience) and the viewer is never distracted by awkward jumps between shots or by awkward jumps between shots.

2. 180 degree rule- when the camera stays on only one side of the actions and objects in a scene. The invisible line (axis of action) run through the space of the scene.



3. Match on action- when the perspective of the camera changes and the scene continues to flow.




Hope this is helpful for students who didn't understand the techniques before!
See you guys later!

  1. Excellent blogging Emily! You've got a great balance between your own genuine interest in the subject and academic enquiry juxtaposed with an informa, idiosyncratic approach. Keep it up.
