Continuity and its importance in the TV and Film Industry

Continuity and its importance in the TV and Film Industry - 

Continuety erros can range from almost anything from the length of a cigarette in mouth, the amount of liquid in a drink or even a chair moved a tiny bit to the left.

When applying makeup and creating hairstyles in television and film it is very important to take notes   to help create the exact same final outcome whether its yourself or another designer creating the look. Everything has to be exactly the same such as clothing, skin tones, same hair length and same makeup. If one or more of these aren't the same it is easily recognisable. If done correctly the final out come is successful. 

Below are a range of example of continuity errors in Television and films -

Example 1
Hanna Montana - Season 1 , Episode 1

As you can see within the image above, the trays change position, partially the milk carton, and whenOliver stand up the apple has changed trays and milk carton and juice box is lying flat.

Example 2 - Pirates of the Caribbean, label of hat on show 'addidas'

 Example 3- The Twilight Saga, the hair has moved from in front of the ear to in front of the ear.

Example 4 - Within the titanic the makeup artist has failed to put the beauty mark onto the right side from left to right.

In many TV productions and films , scenes are often filed out of sequence. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as locations, availability of actors and weather conditions.
