continuity ['kɔntɪ'nju:ɪtɪ] n
cinema The degree to which a movie is self-consistent. For example, a scene where an actor is wearing a hat when seen from one camera angle and not from another would lack continuity. A person is often employed to check that continuity is maintained since reshooting embarrassing lapses in continuity can be prohibitively expensive. See also continuity report. In modern times, some continuity errors can be corrected through digital compositing. See the Terminator 2: Judgment Day trivia entry for an example.
IT Preventing, mitigating and recovering from disruption (The terms "business resumption planning," "disaster recovery planning" and "contingency planning" also may be used in this context; they all concentrate on the recovery aspects of continuity)
