with Mothersister on the street. The clip abides by the 180 degree rule and utilizes shot-reverse-shot. Although 180 degree rule and shot-reverse-shot are different editing techniques, both of them illustrate the conflict between characters in this film. 180 degree rules and reverse shots are different editing techniques to show the conversation between two characters. The Film Experience describes the 180 degree rule as “the primary rule of continuity editing and one that many films and television

Parallel editing is used in The Untouchables when Stone hears the shootout at the north side of the station, where we cut away from Ness and see Stone, his partner, at the south side of the station rushing towards the shootout.

Discuss how editing can help us experience a scene fully, giving carefully chosen examples to illustrate your point, and using subject terminology correctly. d) The rules of editing (listed below). Discuss the logic behind them, and give an example to illustrate their use. 1. Continuity (180 degree rule; cutting on action; cutting on speech; parallel editing; POV; shot reverse shot) 2.
