Continuity editing

-Invisible editing: makes action flow smoothly
-180 degree rule
-Eyeline match
  • Shot A: looking
  • Shot B: what looking at
-Cross cutting: building tension, cutting from one scene to another. Showing 2 scenes at the same time, which suggests this is happening simultaneous narratives.
-Action match: smooths out the motion, help makes the edit invisible. Divorce of continuity. A motion that starts in shot A and finishes in shot B.
-Graphic match: used to draw attention to a theme, two shots chosden for graphics similarity
-Shot-reverse: used during conversations
-Transitions: when we go from one shot to another
  • Cut (hard cut)
  • Dissolve/crossfade
  • Fade in or out
  • Jump out
-Montage: shots chosen for thematic relationship - often used to development + to 'crunch' time
-Pace: how does the edit affect the mood through paces
-Privileged (more screen time) : characters
-Marginalisation (less screen time) : characters
