Continuity Editing Continuity Continuity is the continuation of a scene with numerous shots integrating within each other without breaks in the scene, this so that the verisimilitude is not interrupted and it keeps the focus of the audience. This could have been shot in different time periods and then edited together. It also involves a variation of small scenes that keeps the movie flowing without spending too much time on one particular scene. For example a person gets on a bus, sits down then gets off the bus. Some movies made mistakes in the continuity of some scenes. Star Wars contained some mistakes made in the continuity, as you can see that in the first image there is a coat in the background which then disappears when the camera switches from a wide shot to close/mid shot. This goes against the continuity editing In this movie the character steals a chicken bucket and runs away but she forgets her notebook behind. However in the next scene when she arrives in school after finishing the bucket her notebook appears from nowhere

Continuity is the continuation of a scene with numerous shots integrating within each other without breaks in the scene, this so that the verisimilitude is not interrupted and it keeps the focus of the audience. This could have been shot in different time periods and then edited together. It also involves a variation of small scenes that keeps the movie flowing without spending too much time on one particular scene. For example a person gets on a bus, sits down then gets off the bus.

Some movies made mistakes in the continuity of some scenes.

Star Wars contained some mistakes made in the continuity, as you can see that in the first image there is a coat in the background which then disappears when the camera switches from a wide shot to close/mid shot. This goes against the continuity editing

In this movie the character steals a chicken bucket and runs away but she forgets her notebook behind. However in the next scene when she arrives in school after finishing the bucket her notebook appears from nowhere

In Gladiators you can see the pressurize air tank that helped to flip the cargo

In this movie the guy is wearing a bandanna during the beginning of the battle, then no bandanna in the middle and at the end the bandanna is back.

Star Wars made a mistake again, this scene has been filmed during different times in the day. As you can see in the beginning there is a shade, but after the conversation is finished you can see that there’s suddenly sunshine.

Jurassic Park made a big mistake in this scene, the door hinges are on the right at the beginning but when the guy steps in the caravan they’ve moved to the other side. Then continuing to the next part of the scene you can see that the guy has white towel in his hand but when the camera position changes he has a pink towel.

Next, also in Jurassic Park you can see in the bottom left of the picture that there are 2 cars reversed in the other so that they can drive away. But then after the helicopter has landed the cars are beginning to reverse and back into the position shown in the first picture.
