Transitions

Change from one shot to the next shot (cut)

Quick pan/whip pan, camera turns quickly whilst it cuts into another scene,

wipe, pushes one shot in to the next, can be daigonal, vertical, horizontal

shot blends in to the next shot, has two shots in at one point of time – dissolve/cross dissolve

Fade goes from normal shot to black and vise versa

Wash goes from normal to white and vise versa

TITLES – think about why it is there, what it does, not a transition just part of editing, breaks continuity by distracting the audience by reading the title rather than watching whats happening on screen, drawing attention away from the action

slow motion breaks continuety because it isnt real time, always done for an effect

talking/looking at the audience/camera breaks continuity

flashback does break continuity, analyse how they have made it seem like a flashback and the effect it has

movement with an eye line match connotes the movement of the actor

Tilt, slowly looking up/down
