5. SUPERIMPOSITION
Superimposition in video editing refers to combining two or
more pieces footage together to create a single video. This
means overlaying the first video on top of another video,
then allowing both to be seen on the same frame by altering
their opacity.

8. CUTTING>>>

9. GRAPHIC MATCH
Is a cut between either two different objects, two different
spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in
the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a
strong continuity of action and linking the two shots
metaphorically.

Perspective of the camera changes to create a continuous
editing shot.

14. JUMP CUT
Two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from
camera positions slightly vary. This causes the subject of the
shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way.

15. CROSS CUTTING
To demonstrate action happening at the same time in two
different scenes. Similar to parallel editing.

17. GENERAL TERMS>>>

18. CONTINUITY EDITING
Predominant style of film editing and video editing in film and
television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth
over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process; it
establishes a coherence between shots.

Series of shots edited to condense time, space &
information.

20. LONG TAKE & SHORT
TAKE
Long: An uninterrupted shot in a film which lasts much
longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film
itself or of films in general. It usually lasts several minutes. It
can be used for dramatic and narrative effect.
Short: Used in montage, rapid edits from shot to shot.
Opposite of long take.

21. SLOW MOTION
Emphasises a scene...reduces the pace.

22. ELLIPSIS
It is an apparent break in natural time continuity as it is
implied in the film's story.

23. EXPANSION OF TIME
The same shot can be shown from multiple angles and
repeated...common in sports shots.

24. POST-PRODUCTION
VISUAL EFFECTS
Occurs after the actual end of shooting. Post production also
includes:
•Video editing
•Sound effects
•Soundtrack
Visual effects done by green screen...
