What is continuity editing?

Continuity editing is an editing technique so that a film/clip flows together between two cuts

The three rules you tried to use were: the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot. Explain the three terms.



Match on action is where a shot is cut to a different position halfway through an action such as opening a door and it needs to flow with continuity editing

Shot/reverse shot is when two or more people are having a conversation and a shot is taken from the point of view of the different characters


Write about how far you think your group succeeded in demonstrating these basic rules. Refer to examples to show where you did and did not succeed.

we succeeded well in continuity, match on action and shot/reverse shot in the establishing shot conversation and other shots.
