Jump cut:
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.
Shot Reverse Shot:
When one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character looks back at the first character. The view thinks they are looking at each other.
Flash Back:
A scene in a movie that goes back in time from the original date the movie is set in.
Flash Forward:
Is an interjected scene that takes the narrative forward in time from the current point of the story.
Cut:
A transition from one shot to another
Close up:
When the camera shot gets close to what it was filming. For example, zooming in to someones face.
Cut away:
Showing the reaction of one character to another.
Dissolve:
An overlapping transtion between scenes where one image fades out as another fades in.
Eye line match:
When two people are talking and the camera is only facing one of them, their eye line needs to still be looking like they are facing each other.
Montage:
A selection of photos, videos and music all played at a quick speed to show something that happend over a long period of time. The video will be shorter than the period of time it is representing.
Continuity:
Where there are no cuts. Or so they are not visible. So that it seems like it is a smooth film with no edits.
