Emotional Continuity in Film
Emotional Continuity in Film is fantastic for getting accurate emotional starts of scenes. The purpose is to accurately be within an emotional range yet loose enough to be able to experience whatever happens within the scene.
Theatre, Theater and Film all need Emotional Continuity in order to have art function as life instead of non-functional works. It is interesting how these connect together as many Actors forget to use Emotional Preparation Techniques to achieve continuity.

What are the Keys to Matching Emotional Continuity?
To match emotional continuity, you must learn how to not only catch the moment but catch the impulse. You are looking to find the impulse within yourself before your action. However, if you don’t have control of your impulses you need to stop working and go back to a theater and practice catching the neurotic impulses safely.
The sanity of the Actor is more important than intensity. Emotional Rest is key in being able to achieve consistent acting results.
At the same time a logical Actor doesn’t receive emotionally, so you must balance the two things to achieve functioning. It is simple to understand that you both lose control and gain functioning within a new reality if you are truly present in film or theatre.
You let go of your emotion as you balance and receive the Imaginary Circumstances.
There are excellent examples, but only a few of Emotional Continuity in film. The majority of the techniques are forced and portraits of Art rather than living artistic functions. This means that the Actors are forcing moments rather than relaxing into the experience of what happens.
The more intense life gets or life within art, the more relaxation is a key to functioning. Emotional Continuity is a follow through to catching an initial impulse, but if you are following only your own agenda you are not being truthful or real.
As many things in life change just as in Art. There is a very true statement that Art replicates life, especially in this era of modernism generation of acting. So often Actors feel they need to complicate their experiences with adding gestures, which sometimes can be interesting but often ruins them from having their own deepest experience.
Emotional Continuity for Film takes a lot of hard work by the Actor.
