Layer Video Continuity

Overview

A single shot holds its own continuity. A sequence does not: every generation re-invents the face, the costume, the light and the set unless something carries them across the cut. This skill is about what carries them. Single-shot motion and camera are layer-video and layer-video-direction; cutting the finished shots together is layer-video-timeline; the storyboard comes from layer-art-direction.

Three things carry continuity, strongest first:

1. The last frame of the previous shot as the first frame of the next.
2. Character elements: reference images or a clip of the character, attached to every shot.
3. One approved still that every shot is drawn from.
