Continuity principles
- 2. MATCH ON ACTION Matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.
- 3. SHOT-REVERSE-SHOT Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
- 4. 180 DEGREE ANGLE The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another .When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a reverse angle.
