One of these techniques is called 'Match of action'. This is when the action continues from where it left off, this happens when the camera angle changes, but then the action is still continuing. An example would be when someone is walking and the camera angle changes, but the person is still in the same place where they were before the camera changed angles, .... i.e. they didn't go back to the beginning of the path and shoot the new angle, they paused until the camera was ready for them to continue.
This makes the film clip flow better, so its not 'jumpy' or 'julty'.

The second technique we were told to research about was called 'Shot reverse shot'. A shot reverse shot is when for example, one character is looking at another character (off screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Because the characters are shown facing opposite directions, the audience/viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

The third technique we looked at was the '180 degrees rule'. This rule meant that when a character looks at somebody there is an invisible line which goes from one characters eyes to the others. When filming two people talking, when you jump from one shot to another, you cannot cross this line. If you cross the line from one character to another the scene will not flow as smoothly, and won't look like the two characters are talking to each other but instead to another person. Say for example, a car exited the screen from the right.... you would expect in the next frame for it to enter from the left. Leaving from the right and entering from the right will create a similar sense of disorientation as in the dialogue example.
If the rule were to be broken, then this would confuse the viewer, and won't have as big as effect on the movie as it would have if it were filmed properly.
