2. Matching on action
Where the editor cuts from
one shot to another view that
matches the first shots
actions. Even though the
shots have been taken hours
apart; matching on action
makes it look like continuity
when watching the film.
3. Cross cutting
Cross-cutting is an editing
technique most often used
in films to establish action
occurring at the same time
in two different locations.
In a cross-cut, the camera
will cut away from one
action to another action,
which can suggest the
simultaneity of theses two
actions but this is not
always the case
4. Establishing shot
It is an extreme long shot at
the beginning of the film
that shows where the scene
was shot. Establishing
shots are used to indicate
location or time or
relationship or to establish
a concept.
5. Graphic Matching
Is a cut in film editing between two
different objects or two different
spaces or two compositions in which
the shots graphically match
6. 180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule is
when for example you’re
filming from the right
you’re not supposed to
film from the left
because on the screen
it’ll come from the other
side and so it’ll so will
confuse the audience.
7. Shot reverse shot
This is when a character looks at another
character usually off screen and then the other
character is shown looking back at the first
character.
8. Eyeline Matching
This is when the character is
looking at something off screen
and then it cuts to whatever the
character is looking at.
