Story Continuity by William Haines

Story Continuity
While there is technical continuity, there is also story/cinematic continuity. This often involves the plot or story of a film. If a movie was to establish that a certain character was British and the follow up sequel to that has the character speaking Spanish, it would both be a break in technical continuity, and if done on purpose it would be a major break in story continuity.

A second example of this would be something like Batman, let's say his batcave was in America where it has always been. In the next direct sequel the film was to show him coming out of his batcave into a desert in Saudi Arabia, that would also be both a break in technical continuity and a break in story continuity.

Story continuity is often broke when a new writer is hired to do the next screenplay, some information might be changed by accident.
