Throughout this clip continuity is created using various filming and editing techniques. There is a variety of shot distances and framing which gives the audience a good sense of the space the actors are in but also allows the audience to feel involved in the scene. There is also a master shot which makes it clear to the audience of the space between the two actors before the clip goes into shot/reverse/shot. Shot/ reverse/ shot means cutting back and forward between two people having a conversation, placing the audience in the action and creating continuity. When the clip cuts between the two actors faces their eye lines are matched which ensures that the audience is not confused about where the characters are in relation to each other.
Camera movement is used very effectively in this scene to follow the action. There is a lot of movement in this clip as the actors are rushing to and from the bedroom. Pans, whip pans and tilts are all used in this scene to both follow the action and also create the sense of urgency portrayed by the characters in this clip.
All of the transitions in this scene are cuts which help to emphasize the sense of urgency. All of the cuts are perfect matched cuts to create continuity. For example the women is buttoning up her shirt at the start of the clip, the shot then switches to the mans face and then back to the women, who by this time has done up another two buttons. This is a match on action because it is realistic that the women would of done up two buttons in that space of time. Throughout the clip there are many matches on action and this ensures that the audience is not confused about the space of time that the clip is shot in and is also very important for creating continuity.
