Realism becomes just another form of artificial style, gives the false sense of honesty in its replications. Force of filmmakers distinctive vision and formal preoccupations gives considerable shape to what appears on the screen. Continuity includes all the ways of organizing shots so that the transition from one shot to the next does not jar the viewer (shot of person looking at something, cuts to shot of what they are looking at) Discontinuity editing technique in which shots are juxtaposed in an often fast-paced fashion that compresses time and conveys a lot of information in a relatively short period. Simple terms process of cutting up film and editing it into a sequence.
