Continuity is consistency of the characteristics of persons. This is done by following a set of rules, you must make sure that each scene is the same in all out takes, so that it doesn't matter if you stopped filming and had to carry on the next day beacuse the scene will look exactly the same as it was when you left it.
Here is an internet link which I used to help me find out what continuity in a media context is, and it explains it in more detail than what I have said.
180 Degree rule
Whem filming the 180 degree rule is a basic guideline between the on-screen relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.
An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first.
If the camera passes over the axis, it is called crossing the line or jumping the line.
The diagram below shows this.
Shot-reverse-shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

This is when something happens in the scene then when there is a cut the same piece of action must also be going on. This is also an example of continuity editing and this is also very important in helping the audience understand exactly what is happening throughout.
