Research for thriller

Continuity Editing:


Shot reverse shot - is a film technique to show one character looking at another character who is off screen at the current time, then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. 


180 degree rule - is a basic guideline in shots, when two characters within the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. The camera should now 'cross the line' (imaginary line axis connecting the two subjects)


Match on action - an editing technique when an edit takes place in the middle of an action. For example - if a character lights a match in the first shot, the same character will draw it up to a cigarette in the second shot.
