Continuity Editing

14th Dec 2018
L/O: To explore the concept of continuity editing and create a scene using continuity editing

Continuity Editing:
A system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear narrative action by following a set of rules
Rules


Establishing shot - An establishing shot in film making and television production sets up, or establishes the context for a scene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects

Shot / Reverse shot - Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other

180 Rule - Pink line = line of action , Blue blobs = people.


30 Rule - If changing the angle must be more than 30 Degree's

Crosscutting - Cross-cutting is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time, and usually in the same place. In across-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case. Cutting between two scenes E.G Woman in car, Man running to the car

Match on action - Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. See someone doing action next shot seeing what they were doing E.G Man shoots next shot see the bluet hit a person

Eyeline match - Eyeline matching is a film editing technique associated with continuity editing to help establish a logical coherence between shots and make the storytelling smooth, logical and continuous. Eyeline matching is one of the basic building blocks of moviemaking for a narrative film or story.

Re-Establishing shot - An establishing shot in film making and television production sets up, or establishes the context for ascene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects.Goes back to a shot or place

My challenge today was to , Edit clips together to make them look as if they were filmed that way.
I chose to , start with the crime scene but was going o to add the autopsy into it as well. 
I found , the editing the timings really difficult because , i was not good at the deleting part of the scenes when editing them together.
I enjoyed , watching through the clips and then editing them together.
My finished scene was , just over half of the crime scene investigation.
