A  film  technique  wherein  one  character  is  shown  looking  (o6en  off-­‐screen)  at  another  character,  and  then  the  other  character  

is  shown  looking  "back"  at  the  first  character.  Since  the  characters  are  shown  facing  in  opposite  direcBons,  the  viewer  unconsciously  assumes  that  they  are  looking  at  each  other.

Matching  On  AcBon            A  cut  made  on  acBon  or  movement  between  two  shots  in  

which  the  acBon  has  been  overlapped  either  by  repeBBon  of  the  acBon  or  by  the  use  of  more  than  one  camera.

The  180°  rule  is  a  basic  guideline  in  film  making  that  states  that  two  characters  (or  other  elements)  in  the  same  scene  should  always  have  the  same  le6/right  relaBonship  to  each  other.  If  the  camera  passes  over  the  imaginary  axis  connecBng  the  two  subjects,  it  is  called  crossing  the  line.

ConBnuity  edit  

ConBnuity  ediBng  refers  to  arranging  the  sequence  of  shots  to  suggest  a  progression  of  events  in  a  logical  way.  So  everything  has  to  flow,  eg.  if  someone  has  blonde  hair  they  can't  dye  it  to  brown  as  it  won't  flow.

Eyeline  matching  

An  eyeline  match  is  a  film  ediBng  technique  associated  with  the  conBnuity  ediBng  system.  It  is  based  on  the  premise  that  the  audience  will  want  to  see  what  the  character  on-­‐screen  is  seeing.  The  eyeline  match  begins  with  a  character  looking  at  something  off-­‐screen,  there  will  then  be  a  cut  to  the  object  or  person  at  which  he  is  looking.  For  example,  a  man  is  looking  off-­‐screen  to  his  le6,  and  then  the  film  cuts  to  a  television  that  he  is  watching.
