Our second camera lesson was a test on what we had learnt the week before. We had to put up the camera in groups remembering what we had already learnt. We then learnt about the 180 degree rule.
Then we got a chance to film a scene in groups. We chose to film someone picking up a book from different angles. We started by filming from a wide shot to get everything in the shot, then we filmed a close up of her picking up the book, and then we filmed from the sides. Matt and Guy then showed them to us and told us about how we could cut clips from the different angles to make the scene better.

The 180 degree rule means that two characters should always have the same left and right relationship to each other. When the camera crosses the line connecting the two subjects together it is called 'crossing the line.'
This picture shows the axis between two characters and the 180 degree arc where cameras will be positioned on the green side. When cutting from the green side to the red side, the characters switch places on the screen.
