Video Continuity

Video Continuity

This term can refer to a variety of topics including the way a story is created in video form and the way video clips are shot from an artistic perspective. All of these aspects are important and can be heavily influenced by a videographer's personal style.

In general, video continuity has to do with the way clips are assembled to create a smooth flow of video for the viewers.

One easy way to create good video continuity is in the effective use of close-ups.

Essentially a videographer should shoot a close-up clip to go between any two clips of other type during a given scene.

Example:Mike is studying for his Anatomy test and we'd like to watch him making an outline.First we shoot a wide shot, then a close-up, then a medium shot, then another close-up.If we leave out the close-ups the viewers' eyes must jump to keep up.However the close-ups allow viewers to easily track between each of our other shots.
