Continuity editing

1. Continuity editing is the predominant style of film editing and video-editing in the post-production process of film making of narrative films and television programs. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots. 
2. In most films, logical coherence is achieved by cutting to continuity, which emphasizes smooth transition of time and space. One way of preventing viewer disorientation in editing is to adhere to the 180 degree rule. The rule prevents the camera from crossing the imaginary line connecting the subjects of the shot. Continuity editing guides the audience through a sequence of events in a chronological order, even though the editing uses cutting, the shots fit together seamlessly. This is so a range of camera shots and angles can be used to make the film more interesting rather than one long shot.
