Continuity- the predominant style of film editing and video editing in the post-production process of filmmaking of narrative films and television programs. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots
Non-continuity- when shots are mismatched to disrupt linear time and space. This will often confuse or disturb the illusion of ‘reality’ on the screen by drawing attention to the process of cutting
Shot/reverse shot- one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other
Eyeline match- the eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a shot showing a man looking off-screen to the left is followed by a shot of the television that he is watching
Graphic match- is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which objects in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically
Action match- the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.
A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob. Just as his hand touches the knob the scene cuts to a shot of the door opening from the other side.
Jump cut- two different camera angles, or shots, of the same subject edited together. The subject is not in the same position as in the previous shot, so they appear to have jumped. This can disrupt linear time, as it will appear like there is a period of time missing between the two shots
Crosscutting/ Parallel Editing- cutting between various shots of action in different settings/locations, creating the effect that they are happening at the same time. This is often used to create suspense
Cutaway- the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut
Insert- a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing
