Continuity

Continuity is consistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the reader or viewer over some period of time. It is of relevance to several media.Continuity is particularly a concern in the production of film and television due to the difficulty of rectifying an error in continuity after shooting has wrapped up. It also applies to other art forms, including novels, comics, anime, videogames and animation, though usually on a smaller scale.

Shot/Reverse shot

Shot/Reverse Shot is where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

Match On Action

Match on action means when something happens in a scene then when there is a cut the same peice of action must be going on. This is an example of continuity editing and is very important in helping the audience continually understand exactly what is happening.

180 Degree Rule

The 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters  in the same scene should always have the same left and right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary line connecting the two characters, it is called crossing the line. If you do this you have to show it. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
