Continuity homework


Continuity

Continuity is used to keep the audience focused on the action in the shot, as well as maintaining continuous and clear narrative throughout the action.

180-degree rule:

A scene should have a left-right relationship maintained, with filming only taking place within the 180 degrees.

 

 

Shot-Reverse-Shot:

Shot reverse shot (or shot/counter-shot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. A shot reverse shot is usually used in shots containing dialogue/conversation between two characters, and is usually shot at a medium close-up to convey the characters’ emotions and facial expressions on camera, as the example shows in the image adjacent:

 

 

Match on Action:

Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.
