3. Flash Cut 1:24 • looks similar to photographic bulbs being flashed.   • Popular among commercials, trailers (as shown right) and music videos. • Camera flashes to white when it fades out a new image is there

4. Jump Cut • 0:32 • Often avoided by directors or hidden from the audience. • Cut when •  an action occurs • a character's eyes move • and use cutaways • make sure the angle and distance change significantly

5. Look At 0:40 • character looks at something offscreen, cuts to said object, then may cut back to character's reaction

6. Sub Clip Andromeda Strain (1971) 3:05 • Instead of cutting to a new shot, the sub clip opens next to or over the main scene and plays through.   • Shows a new camera shot without cutting away. • Illustrates relevant information.

8. Freeze Frame A freeze frame is simply a continuously played single frame to appear as a frozen image.  They are used evoke a final emotional or enigmatic feeling. A common use for freeze frames can be found in sports movies. 3:33

9. Subliminal Cut 2:24 • Happens very Quickly • Cuts from one image to another very short image and then back • Lasts a few frames • Activates something in the viewers sub conscience.

10. Camera Snap A camera snap is a very specific shot of the character's point of view through a camera lens. When the character takes a picture, we hear a snap effect, followed by a freeze frame to simulate a picture being taken.  The Parent Trap 2:20

11. Cutaway A cutaway is mostly used to provide a transition between shots that otherwise would not run smoothly together, and serves as a mechanism to hide mistakes.  The Great Dictator 1:47

12. Montage Sequence A montage sequence is used to show time passing or a number of events, usually set to music. It consists of more than one sequences or image put together.  The emotion conveyed from a montage sequence can be dependent  on the use of transitions. Rocky I

13. Cut Zoom Out A cut zoom out is essentially the opposite of a cut zoom in however it moves out much farther. It is typically used to show the magnitude of a sound or event.  It will begin where the sound originated then zoom out farther and farther until the sound can be heard from miles away. The Princess Bride 0:29

14. Split Screen A split screen allows for multiple sequences to be played simultaneously on the screen. A common use for splits screens is during one-to-one phone conversations, however, they can be used in halves, quarters, whatever is appropriate. Mean Girls 2:47

15. Fill Reveal Frame A fill reveal is when the moves in front of a wall or object and blocks the camera's view. When the frame gets dark, the director can cut to a different shot coming out from behind a dark object. Glee: Season 1 0:45

16. Thematic Cut A thematic cut is a smooth cut used to emphasize harmony, theme or concepts shared by the two frames. It makes a helpful transition when navigating through a story. The same idea is used in a thematic move. When the camera moves from one image, to a similar one that shares certain properties, it makes a smooth transition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdDxKoGdFlc The Princess and the Frog 6:29

17. Match Cut • Makes transitions between shots as smooth as possible • Often accomplished by carrying actions from one frame to another • Sometimes editors "cut on a look," meaning the viewer sees what a character is looking at. • Can be improved by changing the angle and distance in each cut 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968)

18. Impact Cut • Cut from one frame to another that emphasizes contrast, opposites, or violence. • Used to excite, surprise, and confuse the viewer. • An impact move creates the same effect by moving from one image to another. Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

19. Multi-take • A single action is repeated several times from different angles and distances. • Action occurs usually two to three times • Adds dramatic impact to the scene • Usually marks an important or decisive action that the filmmaker does not want us to miss  • Can be used as an alternative to slow motion G.I. Jane (1997)   0:45

20. Cut Zoom In • Adds emphasis to an otherwise static shot • Usually in three parts: very wide shot, wide shot, and medium shot • Camera seems to suddenly "jump" forward towards the subject • A slower zoom can be used to soften the effect. • There is also a two-shot (wide shot to close-up) version of the technique. The Fifth Element (1997)

21. Jump Cut Sequence • Montage sequence that uses jump cuts to show similar actions over a short period of time • Camera focuses on one particular character or scene (as opposed to montage) • Adds energy to character's actions (doesn't drag on as much) Requiem for a Dream (2000)

22. Superimpose • Adds supporting imagery to a scene • Overlays a scene with a secondary image that is semi-transparent • Secondary image adds to the atmosphere Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)

23. Walk, Reveal Frame • An actor walks in front of the camera, partially obscuring our view. • When the actor walks away, the shot is changed. • This allows the editor to cut to a new shot without the view noticing.                                    Jaws (1975)

24. Photo to Scene • Character looks at a picture of a far-away place • Frame is filled with the photograph • Editor dissolves to the actual setting itself, shot from the same angle and distance • Abstract representation becomes reality Fletch (1985)
