Continuity Editing Research

1. Continuity editing is a style of film in the post-production process of film making of films and television programs. Continuity editing shows events happening in chronological order in a consistent, orderly, smooth, sequential manner.
2. In continuity editing there is the 180 degree rule. This is a invisible line in a scene which the camera does not cross. If the camera does cross this invisible line the viewer may become confused in where the characters are placed and where they are. This line helps the scene run smoothly.

   Continuity editing is used most thing that we watch from day to day. Continuity is most popular in fight scenes and conversations because each shot flows with the next meaning there is no confusion. Live TV programmes involve continuity editing because it is happening in real time and there is no editing. Continuity editing is also sometimes used in music videos.

   
   

   Continuity editing is used so that the film/programme does not get confusing for the audience and they still understand what's going on. For example if in one shot a man was wearing a red shirt while talking to a woman and it then cut to another scene of the same man talking to a woman in a green shirt the audience would be confused to if this is a different time or not.
