Continuity editing is the main style of editing now used by most mainstream editors. The goal of continuity editing is to make the work of the editor as invisible as possible so as to make you forget you’re watching a TV show and immerse yourself more fully within the programme. This should make the experience more enjoyable either by increasing your emotional empathy with the characters or making the text appear more realistic. The viewer should not notice the cuts, and shots should flow together naturally. Hence, the sequence of shots should appear to be continuous.
