Preliminary Task
We have been instructed to do an preliminary task. Our task was to shoot two videos on how the 180 rule should be done, and how it shouldn't be done. We have managed to do that and below is the two videos, but first I would like to direct your attention to the diagram below. This is an important diagram on how the rule should be done. If the rule is not done correctly, then it can confuse the audience.
This is the correct way of doing an 180.
This means that the filming is only on the one half of the actors, to show them sitting at the correct places at the table. This will help with the continuity of the film.

This is the incorrect way of doing the 180.
It makes the characters look like they are sitting on the same side of the table, or that they are changing sides. This can confuse the audience.
We have also put a continuity error on this one, can you spot it?
