Continuity Editing

The Gold Rush-

In Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush, there is a very famous scene of two guys in a log cabin that is balancing on the edge of a cliff. The camera first shows the two confused men in the cabin walking back and forth trying to figure out why the cabin keeps moving. The next shot is from outside which shows the cabin teetering back and forth over the ledge. The shots keep alternating showing different angles and views of the action.

Snatch-

In one scene in Snatch, a telephone call is made between a man in London, and a man in the United States. While the camera is focused on Avi (in London), it shows him talking on the phone and clicking his feet. After he stops talking, we hear the man on the other line speak while Avi is still being shown. Next shot shows the other man in the US speaking on the phone, followed shortly by the voice of Avi. The audience never sees both men on the phone, but we know exactly who is talking to each other.

Fast and the Furious

There are several action shots in this film that can be used as an example of continuity editing, but the scene where the sports cars with green light illuminating from beneath are weaving through 18 wheelers caught my attention. Many shots are used in this scene, including shots that show inside the sports car, from the truckers rear view mirror, and a shot from behind that shows the whole scene from a distance.
