Example of what I will be attempting to achieve
A good example of what I am trying to accompish is on the O.C. Ryan is annoyed at his brother when he founds out that he tried hitting on his ex girlfriend. Ryan goes round Trey's house (his brother) and tries to beat him up. The scene ends with his ex girlfriend Marrisa shooting Trey. This is a good example as it shows the 180 degree rule and the shot/reverse shot whilst covering the aspects that I would like to include in my film.

Planning and target audience
In this project i have to construct a film of a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.
This film project doesnt necceserily have to have a particular audience like the web and magazine projects we have done previously. My target audience will be students and teachers and i will be aiming this short film to cover all the neccesary filming techniques and follow the codes and conventions of films and filming. The film may use humour in it as this should aid in making it more interesting and of course funny.
I will be using the facilites and resources provided to me by the Victoria College Media Department and Library. In the media department i will be using the computers for researching and editing of my film and the library also for research and the borrowing of video cameras.

Film Guidelines
180 Degree Rule
The 180° rule is a basic film editing guideline that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
Match on Action
A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.
Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer subconsciously assumes that they are looking at each other (the 180 degree rule). However, shot reverse shot is also often combined with creative geography to create the sense that two characters are facing each other, when in fact they are being filmed in completely different locations or at completely different times.
