Continuity EditingContinuity editing is the predominant style of film editing practiced by most Hollywood editors. The goal of continuity editing is to make the work of the editor as invisible as possible - the audience should not notice the cuts, and shots should flow together naturally. Some criticize this style of editing because it allows the viewer to be so passive. There are other styles of editing that require more intellectual involvment from the viewer. Sergei Eisenstein, the famous Soviet filmmaker promoted a different style of editing, where the cuts draw attention to the editing, and meaning is derived more from the cut than the shot. Important rules in continuity editing are: the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot, eyeline matching, axis of action, use of the establishing shot, and others.
