Script for continuity editing filming
Character 1 walks slowly down corridor and approaches a doorway which Character 3 is standing outside, he begins to pat him down then lets him past
Character 3: all clear (shouting into room), go through
Character 1: silent and nods to the 'guard' "thank you"
Character 1 enters room where character 2 is sitting at a desk, he places the package on the desk as character 2 gets a knife out, character 2 then cuts the package in half and sniffs the small amount of cocaine on the knife
Character 2: (slowly nodding) that's good stuff
Character 1: it's the best you can get.
Character 2: not bad, I'll give you £12,000 for it
Character 1: (laughs sarcastically) I don't think you heard me right, Its the best you will find in these parts.
Character 2: and I said I'll give you £12,000 for it
Character 1: but it's worth £18,500 at least (short pause) you're not gonna get this quality for this price anywhere else
Character 2: (laughs and is then silent) why should I pay you this amount of money when you havent proved your worth to me before? maybe you should be looking to sell it elsewhere
Character 1: (gets up turns to leave) fine, I guess your 'customers' don't want gear that's 94% pure
Character 2: I'll tell you what, maybe my first offer was a bit low, I'll meet you halfway, £14,500
Character 1: no, that's still too low, I want the £18,500!
Character 2: You drive a hard bargain... I'll give you £17,000, that's my final offer, c'mon where else you gonna sell it?, I'm the biggest mover in these parts...
Character 1: (long pause thinks about the offer) alright, £17,000
Character 2 takes the money out of the briefcase and hands it to Character 1 who puts it in his pocket, they both stand up simultaneously and slowly shake hands, Character 1 then leaves the room and nods to character 3 as he walks past him
Continuity Editing Summary
Continuity Editing summary
What is continuity editing?
It is a way or style of filming that gives the audience a sense of a chronological story/ narrative. This is done through editing shots of film together at correct tempo, changing from shot to shot to capture an ongoing picture.By doing this it creates a relationship between the audience and the piece of media, establishing an orderly, and comprehensible narrative.
Where is it used?
Continuity editing is used in most pieces of media on television, for example in a tv drama during a piece of narrative for example, a conversation between two people in the same room, shots will cut and be editing going back and forth between various shots to make it interesting for the viewer. For example over the shoulder shots going from one person to another during a conversation is effective as it shows the two different sides of the conversation.
It will also be used in films in the same way. Another way of using continuity editing would be through the use of a phone conversation, two people in different areas, speaking at the same point in time. Again different camera shots would have to be used and edited together to create a sense of chronological narrative.
Continuity editing can also be used for live television, a good example would be a football match, various cameras in different places, at different heights that capture different shot types for example close ups of the action, or a classic 'tele' shot where the whole pitch can be seen.
Another example would be stand up comedy, it is a live piece of media being filmed and then is edited and represented in such a way that it is visually interesting for the viewer.

Story-
A man, a drug manufacturer (character 1), makes the purest cocaine that is available 94% pure. Goes to negotiate a deal with the dealer (character 3). He walks through corridors; until he gets to the room he is meeting the dealer. He is patted down at the door by (character 2) “all clear, go through”… He enters a room with a man sitting down with a briefcase in front of him on a desk. The drug maker who wants to sell his product puts a package on a table, the man/ dealer at the table, slits the bag and sniffs the substance… The dealer/buyer offers him an amount of £12,000, but the maker knows he should get more than that “but it’s worth £18,500”, the buyer tells him to go sell it elsewhere. But this is the only link the man has and has no other way of selling it. So he double bluffs him. “Fine I guess you don’t want stuff that’s 96.7%” they talk and the buyer changes his mind he offers him £17,000. The maker thinks about the offer and accept the money as he just wants to get rid of his product. Money is taken out of the briefcase and he puts it in his pocket and walks out, nodding to the bouncer that searched him as he leaves.
