A continuity exercise, which is what we shall be producing, is where different shots that are filmed, are put together smoothly so that the different clips do not look odd, and so that the storyline of the film still makes sense. It takes the story forwards, without having to shoot hours and hours of film to show what is happening; this would take far too long to watch, and is not practical.
The different clips could be from different angles, and even different scenes, but aslong as they are edited together to make sense, then this is known as continuity.
Directors would have to look out for mistakes though, for example if a person was shown eating a sandwhich in one scene, and in the next something different, then the clips would not look right added together.
This video explains the reason why video's and films need continuity, and why things are a problem without them.
