Continuity Editing

Continuity Editing

Editing- is the process of looking at all the footage shot during the making of a film/tv programme and placing it in the desired order and joining it together.

Eye line match- we see the character looking at something off screen and then there is a cut to a shot of what they are looking at.

Match on action- We see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue that action in the next shot.

Sound Bridge- a bridge between two scenes.

Double Graphic Match- For example a drop of water that turns into the earth then the earth turns into a traffic light.

Graphic Match- When two shots are linked with a particular shape or image. For example a Paramount logo becoming a mountain.

Space Odyssey 



Psycho 







180 degree rule- Two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subject it is called crossing the line.
