Continuity Editing
Continuity Editing is a system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear narrative action by following a set of rules. By using this it makes sure that the shots flow making the narrative easy to understand and the film simple to watch.
There are many examples of continuity editing which are used in all films and TV programmes to ensure that the clips make sense to the audience.
Establishing Shot
An establishing shot is a long or extreme long shot that shows a landscape. This shot is used to introduce and set a scene.
Shot Reverse Shot
between two characters. This is usually used when showing a conversation between two people.
Usually characters in one frame look left and the other frame look right.
These shot sequences often begin with a master shot which shows both the characters.
180 Degree Rule
This image also shows the 180 degree rule. This rule states that the angle between any two consecutive shots should not exceed 180 degrees, this is in order to maintain spatial relationships between people and objects in any given sequence.
Cross cutting
Cross cutting is when you have cuts between two shots that are occurring at the same time but in two or more different locations.
Match on Action
This is a cut between two shots that places two different framings of the shot next to each other, making it to seem to continue uninterrupted.
Re-establishing Shot
A shot that returns to a wide view of for example a house after a series of close ups
Eye Line Match
This is a cut between two shots in which the first shows
a person looking of in one direction and a second containing what he/she is looking at or another person looking straight back at the first character.
