Film Continuity- Caitlain

Sometimes new filmmakers make movies they can often look amateur as they make mistakes in continuity. The main reasons for this is that some of the scenes may not flow properly, the pacing can be off and simple things like the cuts can be in the wrong places. Its these things that the audience would spot and realise all of the minor mistakes, which draws their attention away from the actual movie instead to looking and analysing all the technical mistakes. To make a film continuous, transitions, framing, dialogue, scenes, sound, music all need to fit together and appear seamless to give the viewers the experience of a continuous movie.
