For this task, we had to film our knock knock joke again. However, we had to improve on the mistakes that we made in the last one. For starters, we had to follow the 180 degree rule. We had to also include an example of match-on-action, and a shot, reverse shot.
We followed the 18 degree rule by staying on the right side of an imaginary 90 degree axis between the two conversing characters. We did match-on-action by having a character reach out for a door handle, and then in the next shot show them opening the door. And the shot, reverse shot was by showing one person talking in one shot, facing to the right, then the other person talking back to them, facing to the left. This shows that they are talking to one another and maintaining eye contact.
