Blog #3 - Relationships Between Shots For this assignment, you will pick a film scene (any genre) and break it down shot by shot.   Please don’t give the plot summary. This blog is about editing choices.  Describe how each shot relates to the next one by identifying editing strategies. Are the cuts continuity editing or montage editing? Example: Matched action? 180 rule?Jump cuts? Graphic matches? Eyeline matches? You can identify point-of-view shots? How are the shots organized in terms of their content, composition, color, movement?
