Basic rules:
Composition rules:
Law of thirds
- split screen (grid - 9)
- points of interest on crossing parts
Head room:
- space above the head
Looking room:
- leaving space to the direction a person is looking at
eye level:
- at the eye level of the filmed person
180 degree rule:
The 180 rule is a filmmaking technique that helps the audience keep track of where your characters are in a scene . When you have two people or two groups facing each other in the same shot, you have to establish a 180-degree angle, or a straight line, between them.

Questions:
Explain the task you were given and what you needed to consider. explain your specific role and input.
The task Mrs. Mc gave us was to design our own Shootout storyboard. We needed to include a lot of different angels and techniques to learn how to film a movie. The important thing to consider were the rules we talked about in the lessons before. When it came to the filming of the storyboard we needed to follow our storyboard.
I made the storyboard, the filming and the editing. (for the first time in my life)
Explain which conventions you attempted to use and whether they were successful.
I attempted to use was a waist shot with the gun in the belt. It was successful. The other convention I used was the close up shoot. i tried to just show here face to show her emotional impression about it what she just did. The shot worked out well.
How does your media product convey a clear narrative?
The western music supports the theme of the shootout. And also the sound effects that show up when someone shots. The hip shot with a gun is the typical cowboy movie shot.
What did you do successfully and what would you need to improve/consider if redoing the task?
I need to improve with the 180 degree rule. The rest of my short film was ok. I need to improve with the costumes to make the theme more clear. The audience wasn't that sure about the Western theme. All over the production with the reason why the shootout happened was a good idea and worked out well and understandable.

ebi: even better if improve
