1. continuity

   Continuity, in the mathematical sense, refers to a property of a function where there are no breaks, jumps, or gaps within a given interval. A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x=a if the following three conditions are met: 1) f(a) is defined, 2) the limit of f(x) as x approaches a exists, and 3) the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to f(a). The function is said to be continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every point in that interval. If it is continuous for all real numbers, we say the function is continuously everywhere.

1. Continuity

   In fiction, continuity is consistency of the characteristics of people, plot, objects, and places seen by the reader or viewer over some period of time. It is relevant to several media. Continuity is particularly a concern in the production of film and television due to the difficulty of rectifying an error in continuity after shooting has wrapped up. It also applies to other art forms, including novels, comics, and video games, though usually on a smaller scale. Most productions have a script supervisor on hand whose job is to pay attention to and attempt to maintain continuity across the chaotic and typically non-linear production shoot. This takes the form of a large amount of paperwork, photographs, and attention to and memory of large quantities of detail, some of which is sometimes assembled into the story bible for the production. It usually regards factors both with-in the scene and often even technical details including meticulous records of camera positioning and equipment settings. The use of a Polaroid camera was standard but has since been replaced by the advent of digital cameras. All of this is done so that ideally all related shots can match, despite perhaps parts being shot thousands of miles and several months apart. It is a less conspicuous job, though, because if done perfectly, no one will ever notice.
