what I need to include in my film

Continuity editing: Continuity editing is editing that smooths over inherent discontinuity giving clear and logical continuous editing

180 rule: The 180-degree rule in film making is where regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters, and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character is always frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. The camera passing over the axis is called jumping the line or crossing the line; breaking the 180-degree rule by shooting on all sides is known as shooting in the round.

Match on action: Match on action is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. This creates the impression of a sense of continuity – the action carrying through creates a “visual bridge” which draws the viewer’s attention away from slight cutting or continuity issues.

Titles: Titles are an important factor in media as it displays what the film is called which is important for the audience to be able to recognise the film, it can also give recognition to the actors and people who either starred in the film or helped to make it.

Sound: Sound is a very important part in films as without sound of any sorts it is difficult for the audience to understand the film and its meanings, a huge part of sound within a film is diegetic, but also non-diegetic sounds can allow the audience to understand the film more for example if it is a voice over explaining the story further. Soundtrack adds to the effect of the film by adding suspense and it can also change the audiences feeling depending on the style of soundtrack.
