Montage Sequencing

A montage sequence can either tell a story in a short amount of time or tell the audience about the characters emotions and feelings, montages use short clips or images to do this. Music videos and trailers usually use montage sequences to tell a story in short time frame. Below is a montage sequence from the season 3 finale of community they use this style of editing to set up story lines and a feeling for season 4. This is also a good example of montage editing because it helps ties up the season all the clips are set in different places with different characters and are unrelated to each other. This montage has also been established to develop a new equilibrium and also setting up character enigmas for season 4.

Another film that uses a montage sequence is the original 'Ghostbusters' this montage is shown after their first successful encounter with a ghost. The montage shows the Ghostbusters becoming local hero's and being all over the media, and it also shows that the Ghostbusters enjoy what they do.

Continuity Editing

Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is a form of editing that makes the cuts invisible so the audience doesn't consciously notice the cuts, the video also  runs smoothly without noticing the edits 

180° Rule

As you can see in this picture the 180° rule use an 

imaginary line through the middle of the actors, the camera can not pass the line or the viewer will become confused on where people are sitting.

Below is a good example of the 180° rule taking place from NBC's "Community, The reason this is a good example is because it keeps to the left side of the actor so nothing confuses the audience on were the actors are sitting. There is also of an example of the rule being broken in the bathroom scene from "The Shining" This is a good example of the rule being broken being broken because it symbolises The character Jack Torrence going insane.
Another example of continuity editing is in action scenes the last video is from the movie "Goon" in the final fight sequence
