Continuity editing aims to make transitions between shots seem smooth and provide a clear narrative. It follows rules like the 180-degree rule and 30-degree rule to avoid confusing the audience's understanding of scenes. Some key techniques in continuity editing include establishing shots, shot-reverse-shot editing, cross-cutting between locations, point-of-view shots, and jump cuts which should be avoided and replaced with angle changes of at least 30 degrees. Transitions like straight cuts, contrast cuts and L-cuts change between scenes and can be used to juxtapose or imply the simultaneity of actions.

2. Continuity Editing
A editing style which allows different
clips to look and seem smooth so that
it can give a clear narrative to the
audience.
Rules:
Establishing shot
Shot reverse shot
180 º rule
30 º rule
Crosscutting
Match on Action
EyelineMatch Re-establishing shot

3. 180 Degree Rule
Is a distance that two characters/objects
must keep apart to keep a consistent
spatial relations. If the camera passes over
the imaginary axis of the 180 degree
connecting the two subjects then the shot
will be named as ‘crossing the line’.

4. Eyeline Match Edit
An eyeline match is used to show the audience
what the character is looking at. This is done by
showing the characters movement towards the
object it is looking at then the camera moved to
show the object.

5. Jump-Cutting
two sequential shots of the same subject are
taken from camera positions that vary only
slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of
the shots to appear to "jump" position in a
discontinuous way.
Note:
Continuity editing uses a guideline called the
"30 degree rule" to avoid jump cuts- The 30
degree rule advises that for consecutive shots
to appear "seamless," the camera position
must vary at least 30 degrees from its previous
position.

6. crosscutting
Used in films to establish action occurring at the
same time in two different locations. In a cross-
cut, the camera will cut away from one action to
another action, which can suggest the
simultaneity of these two actions but this is not
always the case.

7. Point-Of-View
Film scene that shows what shows the audience/viewers what
the character is looking at through the camera. This is a
technique that shows one of the foundations of film editing.

8. Shot-Reverse-Shot
is a film technique where one character is shown looking at
another character. Then this repeats it self by showing the
other character that the first character was looking at looking
at them back. we as the viewers are then assumes that they
are looking at each other because they are opposite each
other.

10. Straight Cut
A Basic Cut:
Shot that ends abruptly at the end of a scene and begins abruptly at
the begin of the scene

11. Contrast Cut
it is to strategically cut a scene to juxtapose the two subjects. For example
someone a solider playing hide and seek with his child may suddenly have
a flash back to hiding at a back of an army truck in the war. The sound
would also change according to the change and contrast of the two
different scenes, so it may have a joyful song while he is playing with his
child and then a loud explosive sound to show he is in a different
environment.

12. L Cut/Split Edit
Fade in/out
Form Cut
Parallel Editing Cut
Match Cut
Wipe
Dissolve
