The First Part of My Research:

In order to begin the preliminary task, we had to gain an understanding of camera angles, movement and editing.

We found a video clip discussing the shot/reverse shot technique which is used to build a strong relationship between two characters in conversation. Firstly, conversations start with an establishing shot of the two people so that the audience can obtain a better understanding of their location and clearly identify who is talking to who if there are more than two people in a scene. The two characters are shot closer together and facing each other to enhance the connection between them which draws the audience in. 

By watching this clip, we understood the effects that different techniques most commonly used in any clip had on the way story-lines, the relationship between characters and objects were presented to the audience.

We also studied the 180 degree line rule which is where the camera is only focused on half (semi circle) of a location in order to not confuse the audience in where they're looking.
