Shot B

Shot C




Short reverse shot is mainly used when filming a conversation between two characters or an interaction of two objects. These alternate between each other. Shot A shows the dialogue and shot B shows the recipient.

Match on Action


This shot requires precise timing and is very difficult to achieve, if it was not precise the door would be opening twice. Match on Action is when two shots that are connected are cut together where the characters action is finished in shot B that began in Shot A.


The 180 Degree rule



This is the basic guideline for camera shots. The rule says that two characters/elements in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. The camera should not pass over the imaginary line, the shot will become a reverse angle which would strange.
