Cut away is a shot that is of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject, a close up of a different part of a subject. This breaks continuity because the TV show such as family guy often uses cutaways to show humor. This is to cut away from the action to something else. This then goes back to the character completing the action.
When using cutaways you always need to consider continuity.
Edwin Porter said to be the first person to use editing in a film,wasn't till 1903 when he used editing in a long film which was the " Life of a American fireman. Porter went create ' The great train robbery' was one of the first films to show editing of scenes, ad piecing them together.
Complete. Good work - to improve supply an example of a continuity cut away.
