Editing
-Shot reverse shot
A shot reverse shot is where
the camera will be on one person as they are speaking then when the other
begins to speak the camera straight cuts to them and then when the other person
begins to speak again it does the same again.
-Straight cut
A straight cut is where the
scene changes from one to another without any fancy effects and its usually not
noticed.
-Fade in/out
A fade in or out is where the
scene appears or changes opacity slowly from nothing to max so it goes from not
visible to visible.
-Dissolve
A dissolve is where the scene
changes by slowly disintegrating bit by bit until eventually there is nothing
left. Similar to a fade in and out however it is usually a slower edit.
-Montage
A montage is a group of clips
or scenes put together and then played as one scene.
-Transition
A transition is similar to a
straight cut however during the scene change you can add more effects like fade
from black and so on.
