Preliminary task continuity principals For our Preliminary Task there are three rules that we have to follow:

- Match on action.
This is when the movement/action usually starts in one shot, and ends in another.

-Shot reverse shot:
This is if the characters are exchanging dialoge then the camera films just one characters face which would be used from an over the shoulder shot of the other character, then when the other character speaks then the camera would switch to just filming them with an over the shoulder shot of the character who has just spoken.

-180 degree rule:
This is when the camera showing the two characters always on one side.
