classic continuity

here are what Classic continuity is broken down:

- the function of editing is to further the narritive

- continuity has a limited taxonomy of shot types to 'naturalise' movement from shot to shot, so that it appears 'seamless'

- makes use of a narrow set of editing possiblities e.g the standard to show dialouge between characters is shot -reverse shot

- continuity is sought to preserve the flow of time and coherence of space.
