What they are and how they work.
Everything that you do will be useful every time you take a picture. The sequence, and the process of making a sequence will be the foundation for everything that you will do.
Sequences are how things move cinematically. It differs from the home video as there are edits/ cut, different shots, etc.
In no more than six to eight shots, you will show a classmate performing a simple task.
Multiple shots will create a short sequence.

The key to sequences. There are two things that you must absolutely must change everytime to change shots.
1, You want to change the focal length (ie. transitioning between XLS, MS, LS, etc. etc.)
2, You want to always change the camera angle... (by at least 30-45 degrees)
CUTAWAY
The cutaway will save your life!!!!!!
The cutaway is the one shot that lets you change the length and order of sequence.
A cutaway is anything that is a part of the scene, but not the main action
Initially, you will want to try and shoot to match actions. But, if you are not able to, then you have the cutaway shot available to help create a smooth transition between shots.
you always want to cut on the action to create the invisible cut. What that means is when the figure
Clean entrance and clean exit.
These are things that are important. You may or may not use them all the time, but because you have clean entrance and exit. It will save you.
You should have an empty frame, then the body enter into the screen. You will then say "action" and the scene will begin. the clean entrance can also trace an action... being a hand picking up a pencil, or another action that only merits a portion. Once again, it's a good idea to show clean entry and exit to convey the idea of a complete task being executed within the scene.
THE 180 DEGREE RULE
\You never want to reverse the direction of cross the line when shooting a shot. 180 degree rule
Three ways you can cross the line:
1. Using a neutral shot (any shot that is dead on frontal view of someone's face).
2. Move the camera while it is rolling. This exposes the viewer to the action of crossing the 180 degree line, and prevents any confusion or jarring of the audience.
3. The actors will move WHILE the camera is rolling.
