Continuity editing is to make actual editing almost invisible and appears continuous as if a story is being told, so the audience cannot notice it. Continuity editing adds realism and makes the audience empathise more.
The key rules of continuity editing are: the 180 degree rule, match on action cuts, 30 degree rule, eye line match and basic shot types including establishing shots.

Preliminary task
For our preliminary task we have to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, then having a short conversation, this video should show match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. Also a cut-in needs to be included and needs to be relevant to the conversation taking place.
