Editing

Cross Cutting is when an editor cuts between two separate scenes happening in two separate locations

 A Cut is the move from one shot to another

 A Cutaway is a brief shot that is not necessary but is cut into a scene showing an action that is related

A Dissolve is when the first shot is on the screen and the second shot starts appearing on top of it. It stays on the screen until the first shot ha gone

 An Invisible Cut is when you don't realise there has been a cut unless you know what you are looking for

A Fade is a type of moving image editing where the image gradually fades and then disappears.

A Jump Cut is a cut that moves to a very similar part of the same scene but is missing a part of action out. For example a character is on one side of the room, and then is on the other side of the room. This happens without us seeing him walking

A J-cut is when you hear what is going on before you see what is going on

The highlighted terms are terms that we will use in our own film.
