continuity editing

Continuity editing is important in films in general without it, and then films would be over the place. Where the editors have to make sure the narrative structure flows in the film correctly. So basincally actions have to matched such as dialongue, background, lighting etc For an example; there's a person with a cut lip sitting on the table and then there's a different shot of him but without a cut lip, that’s a continuity error and that could confuse the audience. Here's a clip of continuity mistakes of star wars.


Sometimes in films, you can get away with conitinuty mistakes, like in Star wars. The audience sometimes might not notice the errors or maybe they do, but they dont really mind along as it doesnt affect the films.
