Continuity Editing...

Continuity editing is basically when seperate frames have been put together to form a selection of scenes, however they have to run smoothly to establish a logical coherence between frames.


  • Temperal editing is a skill that allows you to control the time of a scene or frame, editing also makes order, duration and frequency. different types of temperal editing are Elliptical editing and Overlapping editing. Elliptical editing is when a shot has been shown in a way were it takes less time on the screen then it does in the actual story. Overlapping editing is used to expand and prolong the duration of the shot this may include zooming in very slowly to exaggerate a situation.
  • Spactial editing aims mainly on the people and location in the movie. Different forms of spatial editing are the180 degree rule and shot/reverse shot. The 180 degree rule is basically a 180 degree line where the camera must stay for the audience to understand where the characters are. Shot reverse shot is the same frame from two different perspectives for example if there are two people in a scene and the camera is facing one of the characters then the frame is cut and there is another shot facing the other character the audience will instantly assume that the characters are facing one another.

  1. Your blog is missing alot of detail and this is very concerning. You need to ensure you explain all your decisions in full and are an integral member of your group. You are also missing some key elements. Where are the storyboards, animatic, productions schedule, prelminary? Unfortunately without much more effort it is unlikely you will pass this course.
