The film Inglorious Bastards shows good use of Continuity Editing Through Spatial relationships. The Scene begins with an extreme long shot of the countryside, which could suggest rural France. It is followed by a medium shot of the dairy farmer, who will dominate the first scene. One of the man’s daughters is also shown, first in a medium shot and then in medium close-up, hanging clothes. Then the sequence establishes the central conflict, with the arrival of the German motor cars, shown in POV shots from the perspective of the farmer and his daughter upon the hill.
First they shot this extreme long shot of the farmer and his daughter, which is edited to fade in with the added "1941"
Then we see a low angle medium shot of the farmer chopping wood, which pans from the ground up.
Then there is a straight cut to a medium shot of the daughter hanging clothes.
This is then cut to a medium close up of her which pans over to when she reveals the Germans coming.
We're then shown a point of view shot from the father and daughters perspective of the Germans coming.
