The system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear narrative action by following a set of rules.
The Rules: Establishing shot Shot/ reverse shot 180 º rule 30 º rule Crosscutting Match on Action Eye line.
Establishing shot Definition: A long shot or extreme long shot that shows the relations between the important figures, objects and setting in a scene.
Shot / reverse shot Definition: Two shots edited together that change characters, typically in a conversation style. Usually characters in one frame look left, and in the following frame look right.
Shot-reverse-shot may not be filmed in the correct order but will be edited together afterwards. Must ensure that the right amount of shots are filmed to make the ‘shot-reverse-shot’ work.
180 º rule Definition: The angle between any two consecutive shots should not be beyond 180 º, in order to maintain relationships between people and objects in any given sequence of shots.
