Editing

Match on action: This will show a character doing something i.e. someone walking towards a door, and then following the action so it will be a close up of their hand on the handle and opening the door.

Cut: A visual transition created in editing in which one shot is instantaneously replaced on screen by another.

Continuity: This is when the action follows on from the previous one and helps to establish a sense of story for the viewer.

Cross cutting: Alternating 2 or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations.

Cutaways: When a scene cuts away to a relevant image or footage.

Dissolve: Shows one scene being dissolved into the next making a softer transition, to show ellipsis or time passing  

Ellipsis: This is taking out all the boring parts

Eyeline match: This consists of 3 shots. The 1^st showing the character, the 2^nd showing what they are looking at and the 3^rd showing their reaction.

Fade: This is when the scene will appear or fade to black.

Graphic match: This is when two shots match graphically

Insert:  This is putting something into a the shot

Jump cut: This will jump to different parts of an action within a scene, for example someone walking down stairs, it will jump to them being further down.

Long take:  This is when the camera is following or filming a subject for a long time

Non-continuity: This when the scene doesn’t follow on from the previous one. This is miss-matched on purpose.

Parallel editing:  This is a split screen, so two shots being shown side by side

Shot/Reverse shot: This is mainly used to show a conversation. The camera will be behind a characters shoulder showing character talking. This will then swap around when the other character talks.

Slow Motion: This shows a shot being slower than it was originally recorded.

Superimposition: This is when an image/scene is being layered on top of one another.
