Match on action shot


-Cutting action to another camera angel without disorientating the scene and the confusing the viewers. Taking into consideration the 180 degree rule is vital to a successful scene.
-Continuing the flow of the scene transitionally, casually, and naturally without confusing the viewer at all, this method also relates to the 180 digree line and together they make proffessional visual quality.

The 180° rule


The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) 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. Crossing the line changes viewers perspective and may cause confusion.

FIND YOUR TRIBE



"You are a Clubber! You live for the weekend when you can get on with the real living – going out for 48 hours and dancing the night away. You’re only young once, right? You will go miles to find that elusive perfect rave – if it’s a field in a middle of nowhere, miles from home, or your spiritual home: Ibiza. For you, Space really is the place."



CLASS RESULTS:
Clubber's: 2
Townies: 2
Rahs: 1
Chavs:1
Sports Junkie: 1
Blinger's: 1
DIYer's: 1
Indie Kids: 1
Skaters: 1

created by C4 by research agencies Crowd DNA and voodoo.

I Think that the 'findyourtribe' results were highly stereo-typical based and not very detail specific. "Going out for 48 hours dancing the night away" is not what i'd do, perhaps dance one night away but two nights is over-dramatic.
