I have learn the way in which continuity editing works and how to construct a sequence
- Firstly you start with an establish or a master to shot show the audience where they are or who will be in the scene E.g in the spooks scene we are show the outside of the building first
- Then if there is dialogue then it would be better and more interesting to use shot reverse shots and over the shoulder mid shots E.g. when we watched the Oceans 12 clip of the staged dialogue scene at the airport so we made a story board and redid the scene to make it more interesting and so the we could see their facial expressions
-Inter cutting is used to show more than one different story in the sequence e.g. for the spooks sequence. Because we are shown the man in the office then the people in the warehouse and by using inter cutting we are shown that the sequences are linked but not directly as they are in two different locations with different people.
-Match on action creating a continuous sense of the same action E.g. someone walking through a door and we cut to see their hand on the door handle then we cut to see them coming out of the other side without the audience really noticing the cut
-Graphic matches, subtle cutting between two images that graphically match for example in The Mummy we see the universal logo then it cuts to the sun and in Shindlers List at the start the candle cuts to the steam train and to the part where the steam is coming out
-180 degree rule when the characters in the scene stay in the same left to right position, so the cameras stay on the same side of the '180 degree' line. If this rule is broken, it will confuse the audience
