Types of cuts; (1)
-jump cuts, two angles of the same shot from different camera positions that only vary slightly.
-L cut & J cut, L cut is where you can still hear the vocals from the previous shot even though it has moved on to the next shot and a J cut is the opposite in which we see the vocals before we see the shot.
-Cutaways, cutaways take the audience away from the main action or subject. This enables the audience to have an idea outside of the main characters environment.
Parallel editing; (2)
Parallel editing can also be refereed to as cross-cut. This is where two things are happening at the same time in different places and it is cut between two different scenes.
The 180 degree rule; (3)
The 180 degree rule is based on the fact that in a scene of two people they should always have the same left/right so that the audience doesn't get confused when the actors suddenly switch sides, it is important that the camera's don't go over the line of action because that is when they will switch. if you unintentionally go over the 180 degree line the person who was originally face the left with all of a sudden be facing the right. Types of straight cuts, fade in/out;
Fade in and outs- fade outs happens when pictures are gradually replaced by usually a black screen or a solid colour. Fade in's are the opposite and usually start from a solid colour and gradually turn in to a picture this happens at the start of a film.
