2. 180 Degree Rule
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdyyuqmCW14
Woman is on the RIGHT, Man is on
the Left.
Camera can move in any direction
on this side of the line
In filming, the 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states
two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should
always have the same left/right relationship to each other. I
found this video useful because it explained to me that the
camera should always stay on the same side while filming 2
subjects
3. Continuity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSnCu43QzeY
What I learnt about continuity is that when filming and you make a cut
you have to make sure the scene looks exactly alike to the previous
cut. If the scene does not look alike to the previous cut then usually
what happen is that people can spot inconsistency which does not look
professional on film. This video helped me understand the meaning
better and I was able to spot in inconsistency throughout the video.
When editing I will make sure it doesn’t lack continuity
4. Match on Action

A match cut, also called a graphic match, is a cut in film
editing between either two different objects, two different
spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in the
two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong
continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically.

Pace
The pace of this
scene was very fast.
There was cuts
almost every 3 – 5
seconds.
Pace is a term meaning how fast or slow something is
going. Pace is used in film for particular scenes to show
intensity or to thrill people. The scene in the above link is
to show the speed of the camera cuts. If there is a lot of
cuts this means usually that the scene is either
entertaining or there's a lot of tension in the scene. If there
is slow pace cuts the scene is very tranquil.
