2. Continuity Editing
0 Continuity editing is the predominant style of editing
in narrative cinema and television. The purpose of
continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent
discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a
logical coherence between shots.

3. Shot/Reverse shot
0 Shot reverse shot (or shot/counter shot) is a film
technique where one character is shown looking at
another character (often off-screen), and then the
other character is shown looking back at the first
character.

4. Match on action
0 Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing
technique for continuity editing in which one shot
cuts to another shot portraying the action of the
subject in the first shot
0 This creates an impression of a sense of continuity-
the action carrying through creates a “Visual Bridge”
which draws the viewers attention away form slight
cutting or continuity issues
0 This is not a graphic match or match cut, it portrays a
continuous sense of the same action rather than
matching two separate things

5. Crossing the line
0 Crossing the line is a very important concept in video
and film production. It refers to an imaginary line
which cuts through the middle of the scene, from side
to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line
changes the viewer's perspective in such as way that
it causes disorientation and confusion.
