Task eight

Continuity editing: shot a "Western" shootout scene: remember camera techniques (CU, WS, TS) camera movements, follow the three rules of continuity.

180 degree rule= every shot must stay on one side of your chosen axis of action

Shot reverse shot: See the below diagram, your camera needs to stay on one side of the axis of action, however it needs to be at an angle 

Eyeline match: the eyes of your subject look in the direction to the thing being looked at. For example if your subject looks down then the object in the next cute needs to be low in the frame.

Here is a link to a video that explains continuity in detail
