Notes:
Continuity- is the consistency of the characteristics of person, plot, objects, places, and events seen by the viewer.

Script Supervisor – pays attention to maintain continuity across the chaotic and typically non-linear (not in sequence) production shoot, example is photos.

Pacing – rhythm or tempo. The film director translates events in a script into actions that make up scenes and sequences that is, as the director shapes the actors performances and stages the other actions in front of the camera. The director makes the actions swell, subside, and swell again. The director does this to keep the scene from losing its energy and its intensity. (TIMING and setting mood)

Camera Angles—Type of camera framing you use to tell your story with pictures.

Please look at this link to find out more about the shots and angles that were covered in lecture.

Here is a short video to help further explain camera angles.
