Continuity editing refers to arranging the sequence of shots to suggest a progression of events. Which option best matches this definition?

• A. Adjusting the color temperature across shots
• B. Arranging the sequence of shots to suggest a progression of events
• C. Adding Foley sound effects to match actions
• D. Editing the audio track separately

Answer: (B)

Continuity editing keeps the story easy to follow by ordering shots so the sequence of events reads as a coherent, logical progression. This directly matches the idea of arranging the sequence of shots to suggest a progression of events, since the focus is on how the edits guide the viewer through the narrative in time and space. The other ideas touch on visual or auditory elements rather than how the story unfolds: changing color temperature affects mood and visual consistency, Foley adds synchronized sounds, and editing the audio separately deals with sound without altering the visual sequence.
