- acting continuity: saying the same lines in different shots.
- props continuity: if you are shooting a wide shot you have to keep everything the same but if you are shooting a close up you may want to move some things to it looks the same.
- costume continuity: taking photos of the actors before shooting so costumes can be kept the same.
- 180* line: placing the camera at the right side of the line, If two people are facing each other, a line must be drawn. This line usually runs straight down the middle between the two people, like so:
Once this line is in place, the camera can move anywhere providing it stays on the same side of the line once filming has begun. If the camera is switching between two faces during a conversation for example and then suddenly cuts to the other side of the line, then it will appear that both people are facing the same direction instead of looking at each other.
technical/physical continuity-
- have the same props and costumes in the shots to make sure everything is the same.
- jump cuts- crop out the unnecessary bits which may repeat. miss out the boring bits in the middle of the film.
- continuity is used to make the audience concentrate on the film.
- 180 degree line only film from one side as if you do not the places of the characters switch.
shot/ reverse shot- have multiple shots e.g. two people talking, you need to take different types of shots to make the conversation interesting, reverse shot may be behind someone so you can see the persons shoulder but the other persons face.
match in action- has to be continuous make sure no one can see the cuts that you have made. have a cut in action so you can see what the character is doing rather than cutting in the middle so you do not see what the person is doing. cutting an action across two cuts so the audience do not see the obvious cuts that you have made.
