Continutiy and seamless Editing

Matches on action should be "seamless" meaning that if for example we watch a person enter a room approach a seat and begin to sit down in a wide shot and cut to a medium  on the action of sitting. The match on action must be refined to the point where the movement of sitting becomes one fluid motion. Continuity editing happens during the editing process, when the editor begins to cut the film together they will do it into a smooth and clear storyline in one fluid action, this is continuity editing. Films with continuity editing have a clear and understandable storyline as it all happens in order from start to finish of the film. This makes it much easier for the person watching to be able to follow and understand what is happening, it gives structure to what is happening in the scenes. The purpose of continuity system is to allow space, time and action to continue in a smooth flow over shots. When continuity editing is used it makes it seem like no editing is being used it should be invisible and smooth. Seamlessly editing is when something happens seamlessly, so editing can be seamless. Establishing shot – creates a clear narrative space, establishes the scene and presents all the action. Camera coverage – The amount of footage shot and the different camera angles used to capture a scene. Master shot – This records the whole scene from start to finish, etc. me and Callie sit down and have a fight about the laptops. I get knocked out and Callie gets escorted out the room and medical people come to take me out, if a master shot was used everything that’s happening would be filmed nothing would be missed. In some cases a master shot establishes the scene.
