The kind of logic implied in the association of ideas between edited shots. "Cutting to continuity" emphasizes smooth transitions between shots, in which space and time are unobtrusively condensed. "Classical cutting" emphasizes dramatic or emotional logic between shots rather than one based strictly on considerations of time and space. In "thematic montage" the continuity is based entirely on ideas, irrespective of literal time and space. In some instances, "continuity" refers to the space-time continuum of reality before it is photographed.
a detailed script used in making a film in order to avoid discontinuities from shot to shot
The plot or story made into scene sequence for guidance of director.
Having the same placement of props, costumes and people from one videotaping session to another. Also, the smooth flow of real time (even if shot on different days).
The narrative growth of a film created through a combination of visuals and sound (resembling the "story" in print literature). Also, matching everything done in a previous scene to look exactly as it did the first time.
Consistency of physical detail between shots intended to match.
maintaining details such as lighting, clothing, props, sound and movements from shot to shot in a particular scene.
The smooth flow of action or events from one shot or sequence to the next.
the flow of action, dialogue, sound, and style of art in a story
1:visual] Logical succession of recorded or edited events, necessitating consistent placement of props, positioning of characters, and progression of time.
(n) Smooth editing of continuing action through several different shots. Pure continuity accomplishes this by exactly matched continuing action: empty frames and cutaways are useful where pure continuity won't work.
The property of a field such that neighboring values of a parameter differ only by an arbitrarily small amount if they are close enough in space and/or time. In synoptic meteorology, continuity of a field is interpreted as requiring a certain smoothness of analysis and a similar adjustment in the time sequence of synoptic charts. Compare discontinuity.
