Transitions:
A movement between two shots.
Fade to black:
The screen slowly gets darker as it mixes into black, the shot continues until he screen is completely black. This is then followed with another shot. Usually marks the end of a scene or chapter.
Dissolve/cross fade:
The mixing of two shots into each other. This mixing of the two shots means that at a certain point you can see both shots at the same time and t longer this mixing lasts the more noticeable it becomes.
Wipe:
When one image wipes another one away.
Shot Duration:
Shows or help convey specific narrative context through the duration of the shot
Short shot duration:
This helps create the idea of urgency and action.
Long take:
This helps create the idea of intensity and intimacy within the shot.
Continuity:
This means that the editing process is smooth and does not affect the story.
The 180 degree rule helps maintain and achieve this idea of continuity by making sure that all that takes place is in front of that line. If this 180 degree line is broken(crossed ) it may lead the disorientation and confusion of the audience as perspectives may change.
The 30 degree rule also says that a camera must be moved by at least 30 degrees to maintain continuity.
Jump cut:
when the 30 degree rule is not abided and hence leading to an awkward sudden cut.
Eye line match:
when the character is seen: looking at something then the camera shows us what the character was looking at.
Match of action:
similar to the eye line match but this time with actions no looking. E.g the camera shows us a characters hand reaching to open a door and then shows us the character actually opening the door.
Shot/reverse shot:
This is when the camera keeps cutting between two objects or subjects. Usually between two characters in a dialogue scene.
Cross-cutting:
This helps give the impression that two or more events are happening at the same time, by the camera cutting back and forth between them (usually different locations).
Split screen:
The frame/screen is split into two or more shots showing the audience that different events are occurring at the same time.
