Continuity editing

Continuity editing

 

Continuity editing maintains a continuous narrative footage in a chronological order which is done in several ways so it can be processed easily foward in a realistic way. This is done as the eye line match will be cut which will be between the two shots as which the character was looking at.

The next one is the match on action. This cuts two alternitive shots so one character is in one place, but as soon as the second shot takes place it will be changed to the other character who is in another position when the shot gets taken. This is a good way to film for the films as it does not break the continuouty editing.

Lastly the 10 degree rule is where two characters in the same scene should always have the same relationship as each others. If the camera crosses over the two axis it is called the cross eye action which is another good and easy way to film.

Graphic match is a good way to edit when wanting to relate two dissconnected scenes in which it helps establish a clear footage.
