Preliminary Research

Continuity editing is when movie editor television show editors cut out scene and put effect it in to make the show or the movie go smoothly in shots and it makes it look better. There are two types of editing It is when you can slow things down or speed them up this is what makes movies interesting because if there was no editing and clips wasn't cut and put together the movie would be plain boring Editors do this to show us different scenes. older films was edited but not very good that's why they was not as good as the new movies because they would be less cuts in the film and it would stay on one scene for a long time. Also in the old movies you can tell that the editing was poor because you can see the changes but with modern day films you can hardly notice:
                                                   Spatial cutting / editing

This editing creates unified space through the editing. Shots from different angles & framing. Shot / reverse shots. This also includes parallel editing.

Tempral editing

This is when you connect shots to support and create a narrative. This can include flashbacks or flash forwards show the amount of time that passes and goes by. This can go from the start to finish or not This maybe Linear progression or not.

180 degree rule

This is when you are filming, it is when the camera or cameras have to be on one side. so if there is two people on the stage then the cameras cannot be on both sides because it don’t make the feeling natural.

Continuity Editing

This is an example of bad editing because you can see where the cut the film and put it together because the screen goes black this is not good and makes the movie not interesting.

This is a example of a newer film with more editing in there is a lot more cuts and scenes changes what makes it more interesting and make you know what is going on.

Reverse shot

A film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, 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.

Match on action means that when something happens in the scene then when there is a cut the same piece of action must be going on. This is an example of continuity editing and is very important in helping the audience continually understand exactly what is happening.
