Continuity Editing

Today in our lesson we looked at continuity editing. 


Continuity editing is used to make editing look invisible and more realistic to the audience, so they can be more emotionally involved.


The essential elements of continuity editing include shots such as the shot - reverse shot, where the camera switches between two people in conversation using the 180 degree rule, where the camera swaps positions by 180 degrees. Another element is the eye line match, where the two people keep eye contact, to make the camera look invisible, making the whole scene more realistic.

Preliminary Task - Video Production

Preliminary Task 

For our first task we will be filming a short clip involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, where they will then be interviewed on our chosen subject.  We will include different types of cinematography shots, including the 180-degree rule. Once this task is finished we will post it on here for you to view.
