Continuity & Its importance in TV & Film

Continuity

Continuity plays a big importance in TV and film. Continuity is where make up or costume needs to remain exactly the same throughout different times in the show. For example if you was to create a make up or costume set, you would need to ensure that if the set was to be continued on another date you would be able to match both sets.

There has been occasions where myself as the viewer has noticed where continuity hasn't been achieved to the best.

Here is a few continuity mistakes on big premier films:

Stone' shows Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) sitting on two different sides of the same scene.

Here in 'Pretty Woman' Julia Roberts appears to be eating what looks like an unusual piece of food and then in another image she is eating a pancake
