Continuity editing

Continuity editing is a continuig movement between two camera shots while enshuring the scene setout and time remaon the same even though it could be shot on two different days this is so th shot moves smoothly from one shot to another making the aduence stay engaged to the plot of the story line without question if it makes if the scene makes sence or not

The types of continity editing are:

Master shot-
The master shot is used to establish where the characters are and the location or area thier in, this is to make it easer for the audince to belive sounds that they cant see for example police sighrines in mastar shot of heavly populated city street

180 degree rule-
The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making. Its two characters (or other elements) 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. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Eyeline match-
The eyeline match is of a character looking at something off camera and then the next shot of what the character in the shot befor was looking at. it helps th audience to understand

Shot reverse shot-
shot reverse shot is where the camera would switch between two characters while having a convosation by doing this it shows the reactions on thier faces in response to the other persons question and vise-versa.Using this techniques is good as it makes the audience feel more part of the convosation

match on action-
match on action is a match from one scene to the next. The action is carried on between two scens making it seem like the scene hasn;t changed to th audience for example say a man was just putting a pint of bear in his/hers mouth in the next shot his got to be showin drinking it or someof the liqued as gone down
