Continuity Editing




Continuity editing is vital when creating a video sequence as the video must run smoothly together making the editing cuts seem unnoticeable. We had the task of editing together a car toppling over due to herd of sheep. In my sequence I used a variety of editing techniques and different camera shots. I used shot reverse shot between the driver and the sheep. I also integrated eye line match with this shot as it allowed the audience to feel the perspective of the driver. I used the tracking long shot of the car on the side of the road as this allows the audience to identify the setting and surroundings of the car and how fast it was going. For the toppling of the car I used a slow motion effect and a variety of different camera angles as this created great dramatic tension.







Another example of an continuiting edit was the beach, a girl walking towards a boy on his mobile.
