Continuity editing- continuity editing smooths over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process, and helps to make logical sense between shots. It involves things such as cutting shots shorter to make sure things keep making sense.
Cross cutting- This is editing that alternates between shots occurring simultaneously in two or more different locations.
Dissolve- a gradual transition from one shot to another. These may incorporate the terms fade in and fade out, and are used to a colorful or blank image.
Eye-line match- this is a cut between two different shots, in which the first shot shows a person looking off in a certain direction, and the second shot shows either a space containing what he or she sees, or a person looking back in exactly the opposite direction.
Jump cut- this is where two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.
Montage- This is the process of selecting, editing, and piecing together different bits of film to form a continuous whole.
Matched cut- this is a cut in a film editing between two different objects, two different spaces or two different compositions in which two objects in the two shots graphically match. This is used to create a strong continuity of action.
Shot reverse shot- this is two shots that have been edited together between two characters, to demonstrate a conversation; and may involve one character looking to the right and one looking to the left to make it all smooth and make it look like the characters are actually looking at each other. However, shot reverse shot can be used in more circumstances than just a conversation between two people.
Cutting- A stop from one shot to another
