Continuity Editing
By Daniel bRUCE
The Rules:
•Establishing shot
•Shot/ reverse shot
•180º rule

Definition: A system of
cutting used to maintain
continuous and clear
narrative action by
following a set of rules.

•30º rule
•Crosscutting
•Match on Action
•Eyeline Match
•Re-establishing shot

The Benefits:
• The narrative has structure
• The shot sequences flow
seamlessly into each other
• It’s easy to watch the film!
Establishing shot
Definition: A long shot or extreme long shot,
usually with loose framing, that shows the
spatial relations between the important figures,
objects and setting in a scene.

Establishing shot taken while filming in my
AS Media studies group.

From Spartacus (Stanley Kubrick, 1960 )
Shot / reverse shot
Definition: Two shots edited together that
alternate characters, typically in a
conversation situation. Usually characters in
one frame look left, and in the following frame
look right.

A shot reverse shot taken while filming in my AS Media studies group.
180º rule

Definition: The angle between any two consecutive shots
should not exceed 180º, in order to maintain spatial
relationships between people and objects in any given
sequence of shots.

Here is a demonstration of the 180° rule,
shot while filming in my AS Media studies
group.
Rules for continuity editing
180 degree rule
This is a principle which underpins all TV and Film production.
It’s important not to cross the ‘line of vision’ between two characters.
Otherwise the viewer may not be able to make sense of the scene.
The same rule applies to a moving subject: keep to one side of the direction of
motion.

30º rule

The angle between any two consecutive shots should not be
less than 30º, in order to maintain spatial relationships
between people and objects in any given sequence of shots.
Here is an example of a famous film utilizing this rule.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nonxxwfedIY

Here is a demonstration the 30° rule shot
whilst filming in my AS Media studies
group.
Crosscutting

Definition: Editing that alternates
between shots occurring
simultaneously in two or more
different location.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GQkUxdDD-8

Match on Action
Definition: A cut between two shots that
places two different framings of the same
action next to each other, making it seem to
continue uninterrupted.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dgutDMPIMU

Here is a piece of cross cutting edited after
filming with my AS Media studies group
Eyeline Match
Definition: A cut between two shots, in which
the first shot shows a person looking off in
one direction, and the second shot shows
either a space containing what he or she
sees, or a person looking back in exactly the
opposite direction.
Re-establishing shot
Definition: A shot
that returns to a
view of a space or
location after a
series of close-ups.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Re-Establishing shot taken while filming in
my AS Media studies group.
