Continuity Editing

Another editing rule is 'Continuity editing' otherwise known as 'Match On Action'.

I learnt that this is when you say are filming someone walking into a building and shutting the door behind them, and then want to carry on filming inside the building when they are just walking in and closing the door behind them. To make this look as if the whole shot has been shot at the same time giving an impression that there are more than one cameras is where the editing of Continuity takes place. This is done by when filming the person walking towards a building and then closing the door, you would then film the exact same movements but inside the building. so when editing you can move these two shots together and say wen an actor puts his/her hand on the door handle to open it you would then use the shot that was filmed inside the building and match the same movement of the hand on the door handle so it looks as if it is running continuously.
