shot/reverse shot:
match on action:
match on action refers to film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. this technique gives the impression of continuous time. by having a subject being an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge, which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut.
cross-cutting:
cross-cutting is taking two or more film sequences and cutting between them as they progress. it is an editing technique that is used to establish action occurring at the same time in different locations. the camera cuts away from one action to another.
establishing shots:
an establishing shot is a long shot usually at the beginning of a scene to introduce or define the general location of the scene that follows.
180 degree rule:
the 180 degree rule is a filmmaking guideline for spatial relations between two characters on screen. the 180 rule sets an imaginary axis, or eye line, between two characters or between a character and an object. by keeping the camera on one side of this imaginary axis, the characters maintain the same left/right relationship to each other, keeping the space of the scene orderly and easy to follow
