Continuity

Continuity is where film is continuous and events are in the correct order. For example, a character in a seen may put flowers down on a table and in the next shot there is nothing on the table. The film is not continuous as the flowers were not seen being moved. Continuity also refers to the order of events in a movie. A movie has to be a correct series of events and not jump around at different times. An example might be a group of people sitting down to eat and suddenly they are eating dessert and in the next shot they are eating the main meal. The order doesn't make sense so there is no continuity.
