Diary Post 1

I have learnt about match on action, an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. Also, I learnt about shot reverse shot, where one character is shown looking at another character, who is then shown looking at the first. I am now aware of the 180 degree rule, in which over the shoulder shots are used to show different points of view. The cameraman must stay on the same side when filming, or when the piece is edited it will be confusing and not make sense.
