Continuity Editing - Secret Diary Of A Call Girl

At the start of the scene there is a 180 degrees rule, all characters are looking in the same direction at different camera angles.
An eyeline match shows akwardness between the characters, and suggests know one knows who to look at. This also gives the audience a chance to look at the expressions and body language of each character.
An action match is used to show the completed action from the living room to the bed room, where the rest of the scene will be carried out.
A shot reverse shot is used twice between two characters in different circumstances. Whilst in the bedroom the shot reverse shots are slow, this shows stuttering and uncertenty within a convosation. The second time it's used is when she locks the door, the cuts are elongated to show worried look on the childs face and more uncertenty with the woman to if she should unlock the door.
An eyeline shot is used when the father looks up to the penthouse. This shows he is thinking about what had just happend and is in thought.
Whilst the father is in the van, jump cuts are used. This shows that time has gone by, and he is doing different activites that don't continue to pass the time.
