1. Film Techniques
Jake Liggins

2. Continuity Editing
• A way of editing a piece of action while
keeping the film continuous and prevent
disorientating the viewers.

3. Match-On Action
• Match-On Action is a technique used to switch
angles at which the film looks on an action,
without skipping or replaying parts. It helps
keep the film continuous.

4. Shot/Reverse Shot
• This is when the camera switches from one
angle to another, mainly in conversations. The
camera will switch from a view on one
person’s face to another.

5. 180-Degree Rule
• The camera should not move more than 180’s
in a conversation. This means that when
playing the film, the characters will appear to
be looking at eachother.
