Conventions and Techniques- Continuity JW

Continuity editing is to edit a video in a way which lets the viewer view scenes from all different angles, however keeps everything exactly how it is in other shots. Another example of using continuity editing is, if somebody is walking then the camera cuts to a different angle of them walking the same walk then that everything about that person must stay the same an example of this would be his/hers clothing. Continuity is used in modern day editing to create empathy and seamless looking effects. An example of continuity being broken would be if there was a scene and somebody was wearing glasses whilst talking to someone then the scene cuts to an over the shoulder shot of the other person but the cut back and they had no glasses on, but then they did this again and they had their glasses on again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xauSCz1mEk
