Welcome back! Today I will talk about certain rules that are used to make recording professional and accurate so that when the finished product is made, it is aesthetically pleasing.
30 DEGREE RULE
The 30 degree rule is used for the purpose of creating continuity between different shots. This means that the camera needs to move exactly 30 degrees so that the continuity is smooth.
180 DEGREE RULE
The 180 degree rule applies to when two people are having a conversation opposite each other. When this is being filmed, an imaginary line should be taken into consideration from one person to the other. From this the camera must film on one side of the line.
RULE OF THIRDS
Rule of thirds mainly applies to framing. Imagine two lines opposite each other in a vertical position and then two line opposite each other in a horizontal position on your page. There are four points at which the lines meet. This is where your subjects should be placed as that's where people are more likely to be attracted to in the frame.
CONTINUITY
Continuity is the continuous action between scenes. It defines how well the film is edited.
CONTINUITY ERRORS
Continuity errors are big mistakes in films that we don't usually see, as editing can make these errors seem invisible. Typical continuity errors in films are props being out of place or costume changes.
Next time: I will talk about basic editing! See you then!
