I worked with Tina, Liam and Sven for the continuity task. Me and Tina filmed, and Sven and Liam acted. We all helped to come up with the dialogue and storyboard.
The three rules we tried to use were: the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot.
The 180 degree rule is a rule stating that the camera should be on the same side of the imaginary line during a scene, otherwise the scene will seem to have some odd quality about it as if the character is running away. In some cases this is intended but in regular scenes it should always be maintained. We did this throughout our scene (see picture below from google images/animatedbuzz.com )
The match on action rule is the way clips should be edited so that it flows niceley and actions don't seem to occur twice. I feel that for the most part me and Tina achieved this in our editing, but at one point in the camera work, someone (Alison) appears in the window behind the door and the word 'action' is heard at the beginning of the clip.
The shot/reverse shot describes the over the shoulder positions that the camera should follow during dialogue, and that they should follow the 180 degree rule and cut to face the speaker as they get a new line. Our group did this well, but due to restrictions of our room, some shots had to be taken at much closer distances than we had planned in our storyboard
