Editing

In Eastenders we can see that the characters are speaking to one another because of the editing style shot reverse shot. Using this editing style allows the audience to see they are having a conversation. They do this without breaking the 180 degree rule which connects the characters by keeping the camera on one side of the axis for every shot. This is also continuity editing as it flows from shot to shot.

This is a clip from the Godfather. This clip shows cross- cutting. Cross- cutting is used in order to cut between two action shots which are in different places but are happening at the same time. In this clip it is cutting between people being shot to a christening that is taking place.
