The Understanding of Continuity Editing

Some of these are the following continuity editing techniques, some of which we used in our preliminary task.



Match on Action
This is when something happens in a scene and the piece is cut but is still showing the same piece of action going on but from a different angle and view.



Shot Reverse Shot
This is when one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at that character. The characters are shown looking in different directions and so this gives the viewer the impression that the characters that they are looking at one another.



180 Degree Rule
This is rule when filming that shows that the two characters should have the same left/right relationship when in the same scene together, this rule should not be broken.





Eyeline Match
This is showing on the screen what the actual character is seeing.
