Continuity Editing consists of arranging clips that are part of a sequence of shots to suggest a progression of events, to create different scenarios and feelings. It also refers to the directions that the shots are taken, for example from the viewers perspective if many different angles and views were taken of one objective, it may be very confusing and unrealistic for the eye. So continuity editing is involved in editing the production so pieces work well and make sence to watch, in result the piece is smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and this is then easy for the audience to establish a coherence between shots without noticing.
Here is a helpful visual and audio video explanation of Continuity Editing, using clips from the film 'V for Vendetta' i have found from youtube.
