Action Match
Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.
Eyeline Match
An eyeline match is a film editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. 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.
Final Shot
In any scene, which character or characters are shown in the final shot of the sequence? This is often the character with which the audience is expected to identify.
Intercutting: Tension
When intercutting is used to draw two storylines together, this can be structured to create tension, and therefore heighten the audience’s identification with a particular character.
Intercutting: Juxtaposition
Alternate (scenes or shots) with contrasting scenes or shots to make one composite scene in a film.
Jump Cuts
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.
Motivation
Motivated editing is a way of helping to suspend the audiences disbelief when watching a production. Motivated editing is where shots are carefully chosen to push a story along and make the audience believe what they are seeing.
For instance if there is a shot of someone walking into a room and looking around, it is best to then cut to a shot of that actors point of view.
This way the audience get to see exactly what that actor sees and it engrosses them in the story even more.
