Continuity Editing is when you edit clips to make the better so you would cut clips and put the together and make your movie more interesting and entertain. Continuity Editing consists of two category's one is tempral editing and the other is spatial editing . It is when you can slow things down or speed ed 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.
This is a 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.
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 finis or not . This maybe Linear progression or not.
Spatial cutting / editing
This editing creates unified space through the editing. shots from different angles & framing. Shot / reverse shots. also kuleshove effect . this also includes parallel editing.
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 can not be on both sides because it don't make the feeling natural.so you have to have the camera or all the cameras on one side.
This is an example of the 180 degree rule this rule was put in place because when you have a camera on the wrong side the feeling is not right it don't feel natural.This is really important because it is makes things realistic.
Revere's shot
This is when you have the camera on two people showing a duologue first the camera will show one person speaking to another the it will show the other person taking . this is why it is called reverse shot because it goes backwards and forwards to the different actors and keeps switching. this is mainly uses in conversations with two people to show who is talking to who.
Match on action
This is when the shot changes from a medium shot to close up to show something changing or happening. This also shows something important is happening because it zooms in to something . like if i was to open a book the view would change to zoom in to the book. Another example would be someone opening a door first it will show the person walk to the door ant the it will switch to zooming in to the match on action shot opening the door Handel.
This shot shows someone opening the door because in some movies this can make the scene tense when in a horror movie someone opening a door or even in a fighting movie when someone gets punched this shot shows us the action and what is happening.
overall i think that continuity editing is very important because it can make the difference of a movie been really good or not good because editing does allot and can make the movie interesting because if there was not any editing the movie would be on one scene and you wouldn't know whats going on. now with the new movies there is allot of editing so there is lots of scene switches so you get to know whats going on which gets you into the movie so if you compare and old movie to a new one the editing is much more and much better in a new movie. in the old movie you can notice where it has been edited and the new ones you can not tell as much but it happens much more.
