Okay so I need to learn from your own personal experiences, where this question is concerned: What have you done in your own productions to ensure that you dont create errors in your continuity. Cheers Cleary.

Sometimes I do the scenes over and over a couple of times with diffrent camera angles each time. Or if you don't want/cant do it that many times you can just film until you need to change tha angle, then make the actor do the last motion again when you start recording the next angle.
Hope it helps.
Hi
What I have learned at my filmschool is that to make sure of continuity is to have someone take a picture of the actor or scene when the director says "cut". What most films do when they cut through scenes is: They basically shoot the whole dialogue or take and then from another angle with some cut aways and then they edit it in post. We also have a rule towards shooting, which side the camera should be shooting from: We call it the 180 degree rule.
Basically it's like a a football, cut in half. With a line from one actor to the other. You can shoot from any angle, but can only cross the line one you established another wide shot of the scene.
hope this helps
My actors were actually very careful to keep track of their movements and timing which saved a lot of headaches. Beyond that I had a lot of cutaway footage and alternate shots to use if something didn't match up right.
