Action Match


A shot that cuts to another continuing piece of action movement between shots. This then allows the audience to see a smooth action despite a cut in the shot, used mostly in over the shoulder shots.


Cross Cutting/Parallel Editing


Where the editor cuts between two separate scenes in two separate locations at the same time. This illustrates a contrast and link between them.


Jump Cut
 
A cut that moves to the very similar part of the same scene but missing a piece of action.


Fast Pace Cut
 To increase the speed of the action and to build up tension and excitement within the audience.


Wipe
Used to move the action on without a jump cut making


Dissolve


Visual Effects
Graphics on screen.


Graphic Match
A cut from scene to another that usually look the same e.g. blowing out a match, and then too a sun set.
