Continuity Editing Task (basic instructions)

We have started the basic editing technique task. In this task, our basic goal is to create a shot list for our short piece lasting no longer than 90 seconds.
This task has some specific requirements. They consist of:
  • not breaking the 108 degree rule- this is where the camera may not cross the invisible straight line. 
The 108 degree rule is basically an invisible line that shows the spacial relationship between characters on scree, this is generally used when it comes to a conversation. A shot like this makes it easier for the audience to follow and understand the order of the conversation. Here is a diagram to demonstrate:


  • including shot reverse shot 
  • include a variety of camera angles 
  • the use of editing to make sure the continuity of the scene is clear
  • more than one location
  • interaction between others
  • non-diegetic sound
This is our first attempt for the shot list:


The person manning the camera is Chelsea Wilson 
The actors are myself (Priyanka Chawla), Aman Dhillon and Luke Maye's
