Make a post on your blog with the same title as this one : Basic Media Terminology

You were asked to watch the 4 OCR videos.

In your post, do the following without watching the videos again!


  1. Make a list of basic media terminology you were introduced to in the video about camera shots.
  2. Make a list of basic media terminology you were introduced to in the video about camera angles.
  3. Make a list of basic media terminology you were introduced to in the video about camera movements.
  4. Explain the 180 degree rule in your own words.


Here is a slide with the basic terminology you need to know and be able to use:


...and here is an explanation of the 180 degree rule:

The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another .

Make sure that you have these on your blog.
