3 continuity rules

The first shot of this video is shot then followed by the reverse shot, this usually occurs during a conversation and showing both sides of the conversation and the reactions each person has to what the other is saying. In this case its showing the emotion of anger and fear, this is clear to see as both shot and reverse are medium close ups so it is identifiable to see how they are feeling towards each other . The pace between these two shots are very fast and switch from one to the other at quite a speed, this could be to give more tension or to show that its coming to a point where there will be a lot of drama to kind of set the audience up for this.
After the shot reverse shot the 180 rule has been put into practice quite swiftly after the shot reverse shot, these shots are similar but I would say shot reverse shot is more of the reaction and speech of them both and the 180 rule is showing eye contact and where they are looking. The film shows that they are looking at each other and its easy to note this as they are both on opposite sides and these sides are like a barrier that they are abiding by to show they are on different sides. With them on opposite sides its like there is a wall separating the two to show that they aren’t on the same side and that is why the 180 rule works well as they stay on the same side through out. Again the transitions between these two are fast and again are building up the tension to the peak of drama. Again it’s a medium close up so even though its to show where the characters are looking its clear to see that they are both still angry and that there emotions haven’t changed towards each other.
Match on action comes towards the end of the scene where its at the main part where there is the most drama and action which then makes sense to use match on action. It cuts from inside the car to the back of the car to then the side of the car. It cuts from inside the car to the back of the car to show that they are quite scared and unsure about this to the last second, then as it goes off the edge it cuts to the back of the car, this is to show what the car is actually doing and what it looks like before going on the water. It then swiftly cuts to the side of the car as its in mid air, which again is showing the movement of the car and showing the audience what its actually doing, there is a fast cut to a close up of the drivers face to show how he is feeling and that he is looking relatively calm about this, but by not showing the other character it creates this sense of mystery as the audience will be unsure about how he is feeling and if he is injured or not. It then will go back to the car which in this case could be called the master shot as it returns to this several times and the main focus is on this. With the effect of slow motion as the car is about to hit the water is prolonging the drama for as long as possible without over doing it. With the mystery of the characters and without knowing how they are it is creating more drama for the audience as they are limited to the amount of information they know. But with all these 3 continuity rules put into action it does make the scene flow better and look more varied with different shots showing these rules.
