“Cutting to continuity” is a editing style that helps filmmakers make a smooth flowing movie so that the audience can easily follow, process, and understand what is happening in the film. Instead of making the cuts noticeable and choppy, the editar tries to connect each shot in a way where it feels natural. For example, In the movie if someone walks through the house, opens the front door and walks outside, the editor will arrange the shots in a order that looks like its one continuious action without confusing the viewer and losing their focus.

The five editing styles are sequence shots, cutting to continuity, classical cutting, thematic montage, and abstract cutting. Sequence shots use one long take without cutting to make the scene feel more realistic. Cutting to continuity is the editing style on smooth transitions between cuts. Classical cuttings, adds techs like parallel editing, 180 degree rule editing, and so on to keep the story easy to follow. Thematic montages uses fast quick shots to form a emotion or emphasize on an idea, while abstract cutting focuses more on the visuals and mood than telling the story. Each style helps tell the story and they all play a part.
