2. Continuity Editing
Continuity editing gives the viewer the impression that
the action unfolds with spatiotemporal consistency. In
most films, logical coherence is achieved by cutting to
continuity, which emphasizes smooth transition of time
and space.
3. Match of 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. A common example is a man
walking up to a door and reaching for the knob.
4. Reverse shot
Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) 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. Since the characters are shown facing in
opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are
looking at each other
5. 180º rule
The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that
states that two characters in a scene should maintain
the same left/right relationship to one another . When
the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting
the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the
shot becomes what is called a reverse angle
