Continuity Editing

Establishing shot:
This shot informs the viewers about the location where the corresponding scenes will take place.












180 Degree rule:
This shot is taken on the basis of an imaginary line which a camera can not pass through. This shot is usually taken at times of a conversation between two people.







Shot Reverse shot:
This shot mostly taken during conversations between two people. The camera is normally placed over the shoulders of the people talking to each other.


























Fast editing:
This consists of a number a shots  which are covered in a short duration, very fastly, which connotes something happening quickly. I took these pictures from the opening sequence of the movie DARK SKIES.







Point of view:
This shot shows the point of view of a person, e.g. something he/she is looking at.







Dissolve:





































Slow Editing: The shots are used for comparatively long duration of time than the shots of fast editing. The concept is the same; it is the duration of scenes that vary.





Match Cut: This technique matches an object in the first shot to an object in the second shot to bridge a gap between them.










Jump Cut: The shots of an object are captured in a sequence however the camera positions are not fixed. They vary in movement.

Eye-line match: This shows a person in one angle and the other person standing near him/her to show what the first person is looking.
