RESEARCH: 180 Degree RULE

180 Degree RULE.

This rule tells us that the camera stays on one side to indicate position of the characters. e.g: when watching sports if you look at the pitch you see a camera scrolling up and down the pitch but only on one side.

This rule enforces the continuity of a film.

Rule should be considered at all times, but only can be broken to add effect but must be explained. 
- Breaking the rule will confuse the audience.


WHAT HAPPENS IF 180 DEGREE RULE IS BROKEN???

• CONFUSE audience.
• Audience behaviour - lose focus.
• Missing vital part of a film and storyline/plot

*EVALUATION: We all did this when we had to do the PRELIMINARY task of focusing on camera work and we after are camera shots we seemed to have broken the 180 degree Rule however we took a second to think about it and plan the filming of the video and we finally understood how it works. This has developed are understanding of GOOD FILMING.
