Preliminary task

The purpose of this preliminary task is to give us experience with using the cameras and filming in general. The preliminary task has to include:

A character opening a door with their hand being filmed on the door-(match on action), crossing a room, and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she then exchanges various lines of dialogue.

Match-on-action shot: A shot that immediately follows another shot to explain the first of the two shots, eg. a shot of a woman opening a door, with another shot of the woman coming through the door from the other side of it. 

Shot-reverse-shot: Mostly appears during dialogue. For example, a person is being filmed talking to someone, then the receiver is filmed talking to the initial speaker with a final shot of the initial speaker in the course of the dialogue. 

180-degree rule: The rule that the camera must not exceed beyond the 180-degree boundary, because if the camera did this, it would confuse the viewer as the characters would change position. However, the camera can exceed the 180-degree boundary only if it is shown by the camera.
