Non-contuinity editing is a type of editing where there is no cutting, some editors will use this as they prefer it and is used in many films, the three films that i have chosen that have used it are ; A Bout De Souffle by Jean-Luc Goddard, The Shining by Stanley Kubrick and The Hunger Games by Gary Ross.
A Bout De Souffle was edited by Jean Luc-Goddard, and he was part of the French New Wave. The french new wave was a set of filmmakers who pushed editing to their limits in the 1950s and 1960s, they used a different typo of style compared to hollywood, this then resulted in the editing not having many cuts as it was a more relaxed way of editing. Also there is a use of jump cuts often. this is shown in the pictures below.
Jump cut
The shining is a film by Stanley kubrick, and shows a break in the 180 degree rule. This was used to crate a number of feelings that the audience would have, one being that they were arguing and the second is that it was more of a psycholgical battle as the film made the audience thing , especially with the ending, this then gets transferred to make the audience feel anxious, as shown in the picture below.
The Hunger Games by Gary Ross also shows the use of the 180 degree rule being broke, this is in the scene in the bedroom to show that the person is unfamiliar with the environment she is in, as they show more than one shot of the room , which is shown in the pictures below.
Tony, you have given the examples but not really explained the key techniques. Go back to this post please.
