Editing; Continuity & Non-Continiuty

Continuity 
Takes the drama from one shot to the next or makes the dramas narrative, progress in a realistic way
- Flashbacks/forwards can still fall under this.

Long Takes
Short Takes
Straight Cuts
Action Match - follows character
Shot reverse shot
180 degree rule (camera stays on one side of the scene, can only be broken if camera goes round the conversation)


Non-Continuity
Breaks the realism and has no obvious connection. It can present the characters star of mind and force audience to consider a connection between events or characters. Furthermore, it challenges convents and breaks continuity rule.

Montage
Jump Cut (normally an error)
Non- Diegetic insert
Narrative logical progression challenged
