Match on Action Shot

This is an editing technique used for continually editing. This is when one shot cuts to another but with the same subject matter clearly shown. This is effective because it gives a continuous sense of the same action.
An example of a Match on Action Shot is the first shot being an extreme close up of someone opening a door from the outside and then a cut to the character entering the room on the other side. In this case, the door acts as the subject matter.

Shot Reverse Shot

This is a shot often used during dialogue and conversations between two characters looking and talking directly to one another. Normally from one characters perspective (over the shoulder shot) then switching to the other characters perspective.

Research into the 180◦ Rule

The 180° rule is when the camera shouldn't cross the line of vision. The reason for the rule is because it will disorientate the viewer as the characters position on screen will switch.

The story line of the Preliminary Task  is to film a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom they must have a conversation.
