Film continuity

When making a film, it is important that the individual scenes, as well as the storyline, make sense. Each shot must follow from another nicely, and it must all flow nicely into one clip. If this wasn't the case, the film would jump, cut and look extremely messy, leading the audience to instantly see it is an amateur production. This can be prevented by ensuring every element of a clip is as good as possible, including transitions, sound and music.
