editing techniques

The Straight Cut: This is when there is a sudden change of shot from one viewpoint to another.

The Matched Cut: This is when a familiar relationship between the shots make the change seem smooth.

The Motivated Cut (Aka The shot/The reverse shot):This is a cut used to show the viewer something not immediately visible.

The Jump Cut:This is a abrupt switch from one scene to another. Mostly used to make a dramatic point.

The Reaction Shot:This is a shot where the participant reacts to events. This is often used to guide the audiences reaction to a scene.

The Wipe:This is a optical effect where one shot 'wipes' another off the screen for a dramatic effect.

The Fade:Transition To/From a blank screen (usually black)

The Dissolve:This is a slow transition as one image slowly merges into another
Screen time: important transition, when a director is editing footage, they decide how long a character goes on the screen for to show that character impotances.

Slow motion/speed it up: if the director chooses to speed it up, its a comedy or its not that important and if they slow it down then it shows that that scene is important.

Fliters: when you put sepia or black and white for a vintage look mainly used for flash backs or deep thought

cutaway shot is 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

Flashback is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point the story has reached. Flashbacks are often used to recount events that happened before the story’s primary sequence of events or to fill in crucial backstory.

Compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene. Live-action shooting for compositing is variously called "chroma key",

An L cut, also known as a split edit, is an edit transition from one shot to another in film or video, where the picture and sound are synchronized but the transitions in each are not coincident.

A long take or oner is an uninterrupted shot in a film which lasts much longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film itself or of films in general, usually lasting several minutes.

distortion/annimated : when the screen goes blurry, and spins and makes the thing what is on the screen to look dioreintated

parralel cut: is when you cut from one place to another so it can show the link
