In this "My Name is Optimus Prime" clip from Transformers, it shows an example of match on action (cutting from one shot to another view that matches the action and pace of the first shot) at 0:11 & 0:43 and shot reverse shot (where the characters are shown facing in opposite directions) at from 0:51 to 1:00.
In this "Eyes on Mikaela" clip from Transformers, it shows another example of match on action at 0:11 & 0:20 and shot reverse shot from 0:30 to 0:44.
In this "No Sacrifice No Victory" clip from Transformers, it shows an example of the 180 degree rule (two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship
to each other) for a short moment from 1:44 to 2:01.
In this "P.S. I LOVE YOU Opening" clip from P.S. I Love You, it also shows an example of the 180 degree rule from 1:58 to 2:47.
Well done Nature for posting these excellent examples of the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shots.
ReplyDeleteNote in the 2nd clip from "Transformers" whilst the guy is clinging to the column there is a aerial 360 degree shot which gives the viewer an effective view of the action.
Could you re-post under label G321 Preliminary Task.
In the clip from "I Love You" (the conversation on the stair case) you may wish to comment on the number of extreme high angle shots of the stair case, and the high angle shot of the bloke whilst the girl is shot at low angle. You could add to the post and explain what the purpose is of these shots. Try to develop your captions and if you are focusing on these principles of film making the endeavour to explain the purpose of the camera angles.
