Task Eight-Using Continuity Editing Techniques



Continuity Editing is a system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear narrative action by following a set of rules. The goal of this style is to create a very smooth flow between all of our clips so that the narrative story will be obvious without unnecessary interruptions, and to ensure that there is continuity in the space and aesthetics of your video. This means to make my group had to make sure that there are no “jump cuts” - that people do not appear to jump around the room in different shots, and so that there is not different lighting or background sounds in different angles of the same scene. Essentially this type of editing is to be seamless, and make sure that their audience stays focused on the story instead of finding it boiring.
