Continuity Editing

 
an example of continuity editing

Continuity editing: 

1. Is the style of editing used after you shot your piece.
   The purpose of continuity editing is to go over the discontinuity of the editing and establish a understanding between two or more different shots. It also makes the shot look consistent so the audience knows it's still the same time even though the shot has changed.

 Used in film making, the 180-degree rule is a guideline for the on-screen relationship between characters or object in a scene. It's used so the audience doesn't get confused with the characters positioning.

Initial Idea:

School boy is being bullied (for his love of drama). 

Beginning: The boy is walking through the school when an older student walks up to him; which sets up the confrontational nature of the rest of the scene, and helps to establish the relationship between the two characters.

Narrative: The older boy begins to verbally abuse the younger one, bullying him about his interests and threatening him, the scene continues with the older boy constantly picking on the younger one until the younger boy's face changes from a look of horror to a look of anger.

Ending: The younger boy finally snaps, and hits the older one in the face, making him pass out and getting his revenge, the scene ends with the younger boy walking away.
