Define : Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is amedments used inbetween shots as self – effacing as it possible .
This way of editing is the reason why we do not really notice editing the mojourity od the time due to it coming across so natural. The shots appear to flow from one to another to show continuity.

Continuity Editing has 4 main techniques which consists of :

180 degree rule - The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters 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.


















Master shot - A master shot is a film recording of an entire dramatized scene, from start to finish, from an angle that keeps all the players in view. It is often a long shot and can sometimes perform a double function as an establishing shot.



















Shot reverse shot - Shot reverse shot is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.



























Match on action - A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement.
