Continuity Editing

Continuity Editing 

Retains a scene of realistic chronology and generates the feeling that time is moving forward. It may use flashbacks or flash forwards but the narrative will still be seen to be progressing forward in an expected or realistic.


Eye-line match

We see a character looking at something off screen and then we cut to a shot of what they are looking for. This is used in film editing because it attracts the audience to the screen and makes them wonder what is there? What are the characters looking at?


Match on action 

We see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue it in the next. This creates a fast editing scene to keep the audience thrilled and amazed of the action. The shots what are continued creates tension and makes the audience to continue watching.



Graphic match

When two shots are linked with a similar shape or compositions of an image. This is used to smoothly join two scenes together without interruption.



180 degree role

The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or other elements ) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.

Shot reverse shot is used to show conversation/arguments.
