Evaluation of a film extract for continuity

Because editing doesn't exist in real life, a set of rules has been created to make sure that continuity appears.

Match on action

This shot is the start to an establishing shot it establishes where people are in the scene.
This shot pans up from the ground on to Hobbs and you can see shaw in the background.


This whole clip keeps to the 180 degree rule it doesn't break it. this film struggles to keep to it but manages it. this film is full of action which makes it difficult to stick to the 180 degree rule                                                                                        as the camera is flying around everywhere.






This shot begins the Match On Action. it starts off by Hobbs pulling the seat off of the wall. It then continues to a shot of him dragging it further away. This is a good editing technique and creates good continuity. It does this by creating a continuous shot                                                          with the use of two shots and a cut in-between.

These two shots create a shot/reverse shot. it goes from Hobbs and Shaw to Mr Nobody and back again. This is used to show a conversation between two or more people.

Eye line match.

This is an Eye line match it creates continuity by showing what someone is looking at as we can't look around by ourselves. This is used to show us around a scene. we do this by having a shot of someone looking somewhere and then we cut to a shot from eye level to show what they were looking at.
