Continuity editing is basically invisible cuts, it engages the audience. It combines 'match on action' cuts, 'eye line' matches, and '180 degree rule' to create a smooth flow. Continuity editing was invented by Americans to create a cinematic experience.
The 180 degree rule is a rule that must be followed, if you break the rule people will be the wrong way. The 180 degree rule is used when there are 2 people in a scene and they always have a right/left relationship to each other. They are always on the same side even when the camera moves.
A match on action is when a person makes a gesture or a movement and it has to match between shots. So when the shot changes they are still matching the action.
An eye line match is when a person looks towards off camera in one shot and then the second shot shows what they are looking at.
