2. Continuity, in film, refers to the concept that the positions of objects onscreen as well as their colors and sizes, etc. remain consistent. Continuity, when disrupted, breaks the illusion of watching actual events. Care towards continuity must be taken because films are rarely, if ever, filmed in the order they are presented in: that is, a crew may film a scene from the end of a movie first, followed by one from the middle; the shooting schedule is sometimes dictated by weather, permitting issues, or other circumstances besides preference.

Frequently film shoots will have a person dedicated exclusively to minding continuity.
