Continuity Editing

This is where a group of clips are edited

together to create one flowing sequence

or scene. This type of editing is used to

create a narrative/story.

Montage Editing

This is where clips are edited together with

no attempt to create a storyline. The

clips follow on from each other with no

continuity.

Match on Action

This is where there is good continuity

between each shot from one to another.

Meanwhile the shot changes but the

action going on remains continuous.

Movement happens at the same pace

whilst interchanging with shots.

Cut Away

Pictures of something relevant to what will

happen in a scene or sequence. This

provides additional information.

Graphic Match

Transition/Cross fade between two shots

which contain similar objects.

Shot Reverse Shot

This is where two cameras film alternating

over the shoulder shots. This usually

shows a conversation.

180 degree rule

This rule states that a camera must stay

on one side of the action. This is in order

to help continuity. This is so that all

movement happens in one direction and

does not change.
