2. CONTINUITY: The actual or suggested movement or
sequence of events in a composition.
Stated another way: continuity is the means by which our
senses (eye) move from focal point (visual moment)
to focal point. (If the composition is static, or has
a shared focus,)
OR
6. Actual movement happens in real time:
EXAMPLE: An actor walking down
a staircase. Each step is a minor focal
point.
The actor’s movement and rate of
delivery influences the pace of the
production.
11. There are 3 principal ways of attaining continuity:
1. REPETITION - The recurrent use of a visual element
(line, surface, color, or texture) or theme (subject
matter)
24. Repetition may be varied:
a. alternation - renews interest in each motif.
25.
26.
27. B. Inversion - renews appearance of a form without monotony.
28.
29. B. RHYTHM - is a regular pulsation or continuous beat.
Continued rhythm without variety creates boredom or
monotony
Rhythm may be deliberate or understated.
44. THERE ARE THREE COMMON TYPES OF PROGRESSION
1. ARITHMETIC (1) + 2 (3) +2 (5) +2 (7)
2. GEOMETRIC (1) x 3 (3) x3 (9) x3 (27)
3. ALGEBRAIC
EXPONENTIAL (1) x 3 (3) x 3 (9) x 9 (81)
