Continuity Editing is exactly what it sounds like, a system that focuses on creating a clear continuity for your final video. The goal of this style is to create a very smooth flow between all of your clips so that the narrative story will be obvious without unnecessary interruptions. To maintain this type of non-obvious editing you need to be consistent with certain visual elements of your clips. Make sure that when selecting clips, or choosing which ones should be paired up, that you do not violate the “180 degree rule.
When you have two people looking at each other, where each video clip is a close-up on their face, make sure that the position of the eyes on the screen are the same in both shots. This is called an eyeline match.
