The '180 degree rule' is where the camera must stay on one side of the line the whole time whilst filming and keep within the 180 degree arc. If they cross over the line this is called 'crossing the line' and may confuse viewers.
.
'Match on action' is cutting the scenes and editing them so they flow consistently. For example, two characters are having a conversation and match on action is where they cut the conversation from character to character without big pauses in the dialogue so that it flows consistently.
'Shot reverse shot' is when the camera alternates between two characters to show their building relationship. It will show a character looking at the other character and then that character looking back at the first character and this shows the audience that their is some kind of conversation and relationship going on.
Above is our preliminary task and personally I do not think that it is that good and that we could do better. At that time we did not have much knowledge and experience with the camera we used and we didn't have as much knowledge on camera angles and movement and editing as we do now. If we were to re-film our preliminary task, as we have much more knowledge and experience we would focus more on the three basic rules which were 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot and we would also focus on the movement and handling of the camera and the camera angles.
We performed all three basic rules however I think some of these are not clear as the camera was moving a lot and the editing wasn't very good.
