Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is the predominant form of editing that makes the change in shots,
flow as smoothly and seamlessly as possible. The purpose of this is to immerse the audience into the film or TV programme and make them get carried away in the story and therefore seem more natural. Continuity editing has several central elements to it, these include such shot types as; shot/reverse shot, cutting on action, the eyeline match and also the 180 degree rule.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. This will include updates of my practical work for AS Media Studies. My first blog will be the preliminary task.
 This task will include the filming and editing of a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down opposite another character. They will then exchange a couple of lines of dialogue. The video will show match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. I will also include a cut-in and cutaway, i will make sure these flow well and are relevant to the conversation.
