The document discusses several basic film editing rules and techniques including shot reverse shot which alternates between characters in conversation, the 180 degree rule which maintains relationships between subjects by limiting camera angles to 180 degrees, cross cutting which alternates between simultaneous shots in different locations, match on action which cuts between shots of the same continuing action, eye-line match which cuts between a person looking and what they are looking at, and re-establishing shots which return to a wider view of a location after close-ups.

Continuity editing 2
Continuity editing is a system of film editing that maintains a clear and coherent narrative through a set of established rules. These rules include establishing shots, shot/reverse shot editing, the 180-degree rule, the 30-degree rule, crosscutting, matching actions between shots, eyeline matching, and re-establishing shots. Following these rules helps structure the narrative, allow for seamless transitions between shots, and makes the film easier to follow.

Continuity editing is a system of cutting that maintains a clear and coherent narrative through a set of rules. The key rules include establishing shots to set a scene, shot/reverse shot editing between two characters in conversation, following the 180-degree rule to avoid disorienting changes in spatial relationships, and matching shots through actions or eyeline matches to seamlessly connect scenes. Following these continuity editing rules helps structure the narrative and allows the story to flow smoothly for viewers.

Horror Continuity Editing
This document defines and provides examples of techniques used in continuity editing to develop a clear and seamless narrative. It discusses establishing shots, shot/reverse shot, the 180-degree rule, the 30-degree rule, crosscutting, match on action, eyeline match, and re-establishing shots. Maintaining spatial relationships between characters and objects through these techniques helps the narrative to flow smoothly and be easy for the viewer to follow.
Editing
The document discusses various film editing techniques such as shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, jump cuts, parallel editing, and dissolve transitions. It explains how individual shots are framed and linked together through editing to tell a story efficiently. Specific techniques are defined, like cutaways that show parallel action, and inserts that emphasize a different aspect of the scene. Cutting on action, or action matching, is described as editing between shots that match the energy and continuation of an action.

Moment Distribution Method
This document introduces and explains the moment distribution method for analyzing indeterminate structures. It describes that prior to 1932, there was no practical way to analyze highly indeterminate structures. The moment distribution method is an iterative process that distributes moments at joints based on each member's stiffness. It involves calculating stiffness factors, distribution factors, fixed end moments, distributing moments, and carrying moments over between joints. The method allows for analyzing structures that were previously too complex using other methods.

Continuity editing
This document defines continuity editing as editing that flows smoothly across shots without visual inconsistencies. It outlines several rules of continuity editing including shot-reverse shot, the 30 and 180 degree rules, match on action, crosscutting, establishing shots, re-establishing shots, and eyeline match. These rules help maintain spatial relationships and prevent confusion when transitioning between shots.
3 rules!111
The document outlines 3 main rules of thrillers: 1) The 180 degree rule states that characters should maintain the same left/right relationship between shots to avoid confusion. 2) Shot reverse shot shows one character looking at another and then vice versa. 3) Match on action involves cutting between shots that match the same action, like a character reaching for a door knob.
Continuity Editing Research
The document discusses various cinematography and editing techniques used to maintain a logical narrative structure in films. It defines techniques like shot/reverse shot, match on action, crosscutting, the 180-degree rule, and re-establishing shots. Examples are provided to illustrate how each technique is implemented to seamlessly transition between shots and locations.
Editing
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.

Continuity editing
Continuity editing techniques are used to create a sense of realism and logic between shots in a film. Some key continuity rules include the establishing shot to set the scene, shot/reverse shot for conversations, the 180-degree rule to keep characters on the same side of the frame, the 30-degree rule to avoid jump cuts, crosscutting between different locations, match on action cuts, eye line matches, and re-establishing shots after a series of close-ups. Continuity aims to make the viewer feel as though they are watching a single, cohesive scene rather than a series of edited shots.

Camera Shots
The document defines and describes various camera shots used in filmmaking including close-up shots that focus on a character's face, medium shots that show a character from the waist up, and long shots that show a character from head to toe. It also discusses aerial shots that establish a location from above, deep focus shots that keep the foreground, middle ground, and background in focus, and over-the-shoulder shots that imply a connection between conversing characters. Finally, it briefly outlines other shots like low angle shots that make a subject appear dominant, high angle shots that isolate a subject, and dolly and crane shots that move the camera.

Film Rules
- 1. Film Rules Megan Errington
- 2. Shot Reverse Shot Two shots edited together that alternate characters, typically in a conversation situation. One character looks left in one frame and right in the following.
- 3. 180 Degree Rule The angle between any 2 consecutive shots should not exceed 180deg, in order to maintain relationships between people and objects.
- 4. Cross Cutting Editing that alternates between shots occurring simultaneously in 2 or more different locations.
- 5. Match on Action A cut between 2 shots that places 2 different framing or the same action next to each other, making it seem to continue uninterrupted.
- 6. Eye-line Match A cut between 2 shots, in which the first shot shows a person looking off in one direction and second shot shows space they are looking at.
- 7. Re-Establishing Shot A shot that returns to a view of a space or location after a series of close-ups.
