Question 5

Not yet graded / 1 pts

In  classical cutting a director will use the master scene technique to best portray the drama of the moment. In making decisions the editor will vary shot type based on the coverage provided while taking into account the 30 degree rule. What is the 30 degree rule and why should it be considered?

Your Answer:

So that something looks well editing and continuous there is the 30 degree rule. where the camera should shift 30 degrees between shot types. This way there is no jerky jump cut type action. 

In providing coverage the camera operator will change both shot type and camera angle, for two consecutive shots of the same subject with little variation and thus avoid a jarring affect. In making decisions the editor will choose takes from the coverage that adhere to the 30-degree rule and thus create a smooth transition. "This so-called 30 degree rule states that a camera should shift at least 30 degrees between shot types of the same subject." (pg 303)
