Task One
Using the template provided by your teacher plan a short sequence that demonstrates your understanding of continuity editing. Including:
- 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or other elements) 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 subjects, it is called crossing the line. Above is an image of the 180 degree rule.
- action match
Action match is matching the action (movement or motion) of characters or objects in one shot to the action in the next shot where the action continues. Above are two examples of how the actions match and how the camera flows with the motion as it moves to the next shot
- eye line match
An eye-line match is a film editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The eye-line match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching. Above is an example of an eye line match.
