Continuity and Shot Reverse Shot

Continuity

An important part of filming our short film in continuity. Continuity is when you switch from shot to shot without changing the environment etc…

If such a mistake is made when filming, it can make the film look weird and poorly made, you can only fix such a mistake by re-filming the whole scene again.

Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot is a technique mainly used in a dialogue scene, but continuity is very important in these types of shots.

if something changes when flipping from shoulder to shoulder, it can make the whole scene look really bad and unnatural.

This type of shot will be very useful in our short film as ¾ of the film is two people talking.
