Definitions

Continuity: A motion-picture scenario giving the complete action, scenes., in detail and in the order in which they are to be shown on screen - (definition from the online dictionary app)

180 degree rule: The angle between any two consecutive shots should not exceed 180 degrees, in order to maintain spatial relationship between people and objects in any given sequence (definition from class)

Shot/reverse shot: two shots edited together that alternate characters, typically in a discussion - use in preliminary film - might not be filmed in order but can be edited later into the order. Firstly film with a master shot and then again with a close up with one then redo it with a close up of the other character (definition from class)

Match on action: Match on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot’s action. By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.
