The continuity system of editing

The continuity system of editing 
 The continuity system of editing is the system in which is involved to where continuity occurs. There are 5 main rules to do to make sure continuity doesn’t occur in your shots.
 180 Degree rule (+ axis of action) 
180 Degree rule is the line in which when editing you must not cross. The cameras must stay one side of the subject otherwise the image will flip and make it look like the subject has moved places or facing the other way.
 Shot/Reverse shot 
 Shot/reverse shot is where two cameras are angled to the same focus point. If two people where facing each other, one camera would be angled behind person A, facing person B. And the second camera would be behind person B, facing person A.
 Establishing shot
An establishing shot is where the camera shows everything in that scene. They are usually still. These give the audience an idea of what the scene looks like, or where everything is. If it were to just jump to different close ups, the audience wouldn’t know where everything was placed. So, these are used to make the scene clear.
 Eyeline match cut (POV) 
The eyeline match cut I where a camera in pointing at the subject looking at something. It will then jump cut to the subject they are looking at.
 Match on action 
 Match on action is where you edit it, so it cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shots action. If a hand were to move and grab something of a table, the first shot would be of the hand moving towards the table and then it would cut to the hand coming down and grabbing the objects sitting on the table.
