Continuity editing

In the preliminary task we must show a demonstration of continuous editing, it must show: match-on action, shot/reverse shot, 180 degree rule and eyeline match.
Continuity editing is to 'smooth over' parts of the editing process to establish logic between two shots to do this devices such as match-on-action is used to achieve this effect.
Match-on action
Match-on action is when we see a character start an action in one shot; which is then continued in the next shot.
Example:

Shot/reverse shot

This is used to show characters having a conversation, this technique makes that conversation more interesting than watching two people talking in one shot.
Example from 'Sin City' :

The 180 degree rule
This is a basic guideline which states that 2 characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera pauses over the imaginary axis connecting the 2 subjects, is called 'crossing the line.'

Eyeline match
This is when we see the character look at an object and their eyeline direction follows to the object or person they're looking at.
Example:

Task layout

Character A walks towards a closed door, character A enters through the door and crosses a room to where character B is seated. Character A and B exchange a short conversation, there is at least one use of eyeline match. Either character A or B exits the room.
