Storyboard for Conversation (Preliminary task)

First there is a close up of the character's hand opening the door. This is going to be a match on action shot, it will show the door being opened and then cut to him opening and walking out from the otherside.

It then cuts to a shot of the character walking out of the room that the camera was previously in. This is a medium/long shot, it establishes the character and what he is doing. The character walks out of the toilet and then moves further foward into the room.

 This shot is the start of a shot/reverse/shot. The shot reverse shot starts off with a close up of Solay's face looking confused and looks as if he is thinking.

This is a medium shot of what Solay is looking at, it is Josh searching and rummaging through his bag looking evil.                                                         This is another shot of Solay's reaction to Josh, it is the final piece to the shot/reverse/shot. The shot is a medium shot to catch the reaction as well as the surroundings.                                  

Solay then walks over to the table and sits opposite him, this shot is a long shot just capturing them both in the shot staring at eachother. At this point the 180 degree rule is established and from now on we could not cross the line.

This is a POV shot of Solay from Josh's view. This gives the audience a view of what Josh is seeing. This is also an eyeline match because we saw josh looking at something and now we are seeing what he was seeing.

It then cuts to a Low angle shot of Josh getting angry at Solay. 

The final shot is a high angle shot of Solay over Josh's shoulder.

Eyeline Match

An eyeline match is a film editing technique. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, there will then be a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.

Shot/Reverse/Shot

A shot/reverse/shot is a film technique which is used to someone's reaction to another person or item. For example, the first shot it looking at the woman, then the second shot is looking at the man and the third shot shows the woman's reaction/emotion. This technique is often used when something unexpected happens or the character sees something that they aren't meant to see.

Match On Action

Matching on action is where the camera cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.  By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.


A variant of cutting on action is a cut in which the subject exits the frame in the first shot and then enters the frame in the subsequent shot. The entrance in the second shot must match the screen direction and motive rhythm of the exit in the first shot.
