Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is when cuts are made and they seem invisible to the audience. This makes the scene seem like its in real time so the audience feels like its happening.
 This can be done in several ways, two of which being match on action and 180 degree rule.

• 180 degree can be used when two people are in a conversation, it means that you can only film on one side of the characters to make sure they are all looking in the same direction. 

• Match on action could be used when somebody walks into a room, an example of this is the door, if you are filming from outside the room you have to make sure the door is at the same angle to when you film from inside the room, usually the same camera is used for a scene so it would have to be acted out twice.
