Undoubtedly, continuity editing is a marker of the classical cinema style. When director used continuity in a perfect way, the edits of scenes looks almost invisible. Consequently, though this editing, audience can one hundred percent focus on the development of plot, rather than struggling with the film theme or the manner of the construction. In addition, the 180-degree and 30-degree rules are important forms in continuity editing. 180-degree rule require the shots of subjects must retain their relative screen positions. And the 30-degree rule warns filmmakers do not similarly cur two shots in the area of subject, angel of view and camera position.
