The Markasaurus 2 Video Clip



In this clip you see me in conversation with Connor. The clip illustrates how a camera technique called the '180 degree rule' is used, it is used when shooting discussion between two characters. The rule 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.

Sid was the director, producer and main editor. Connor and I were the actors in the clip, and Sam had a smaller editing part.

The clip depicts a 6th former who has been caught misbehaving by another 6th former. The 6th former being questioned is me (Mark Taylor), and the questioner is Connor Wright. In this clip Connor questions my odd behaviour, putting me on the spot, and, feeling awkward, I give him evasive answers.
