Match on Action, Shot/Reverse shot & 180 degree rule.

Match on action: Occurs when an action continues in another shot. We will be using this in our thriller & continuity project.

Shot/Reverse shot: When characters appear to be looking at each other, but are not.
A basic production technique used during conversations to show each character delivering his or her dialogue. One shot will show character A speaking, while the reverse will show character B.

180 degree rule: The 180° rule is a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters 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. (here is a picture of the 180 degree rule)






We will definately be using this in our continuity task and thriller film. And then make shooting maps to show this.
