180 degree rule- Jess


The 180 degree rule is when two characters are in dialouge in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
In our film we used the 180 degree rule and we used it correctly, the image to the left is a diagram of how it works. It was myself and Jack which filmed this piece. We did it to allow the audience to see the characters point of view so that when the antagonist  was talking to the protagonist we could see their reaction and the same from the point of view of the protagonist.We feel as a group it worked well as when we watched it back we felt as though we could relate to the characters.

Sound - jess

 Sound in films are essential asset to set the mood of the film sequence; it communicates the film to the audience. It does this by developing the various feelings of the character and the environment portrayed on the screen.

The sound track was contrapuntal as it started off when the villain hit the table, this was when the whole thing started.We also included diegetic sound when we used the gun shot at the end of the thriller, it was diegetic as we added it in after shooting the film. We used the gun shot to impact on the audience.
