In one of our media lessons, we studied continuity and discontinuity, and identified it in a couple of short clips.
Continuity :- Continuity is when, during filming, the scenes and shots which have been filmed, match one another, and continues in a continuous fashion.
Discontinuity :- Discontinuity is when the scenes and shots which have been filmed contain anomalies. Example links are below.

After studying these two terms in class, I was watching a tv programme "The Great British Bake Off", and the filming was discontinuous as in one instant they were talking with cakes on the table, the next shot the cakes had disappeared.
