Continuity-suggest that a series of shots should be physically continuous, as if the camera simply changed angles in the course of a single event.

Jump Cut – an abrupt transition between shots

Establishing shot- sets up, or establishes the context for a scene by showing the relationship between its important figures and objects.

Sequence Shots- allows for realistic and dramatically significant background and middle ground activity. Involves both a long take and sophisticated camera movement.

Cutting to Continuity- emphasizes smooth transition of time and space

Classical Cutting- dramatic or emotional enfaces between shots rather than one based strictly on considerations of time and space

Thematic Montage-continuity is based on symbolic association, not literal time and space

Abstract Cutting

Master Shot Technique- A single uninterrupted shot, usually taken from a long or full shot range, which contains an entire scene. Later, the closer shots are photographed, and an edited sequence, composed of a variety of different shots, is subsequently constructed on the editor's bench.

Overlapping Shot Technique

Reaction Shot- A cut to a shot of a character's reaction to the contents of the preceding shot.

Cut Away- 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.

Cover Shots – extra shots filmed or placed to keep contenuty, exaple is a shot of birds

First Cut- Film editors first cut that is molded to fit the directors vision.

Final Cut-the final edited version of a movie as approved by the director and producer

Reverse Angle Shot-a shot that views the action from the opposite side of the previous shot, as during a conversation between two actors, giving the effect of looking from one actor to the other.
Cross-cutting-The alternating of shots from two sequences, often in different locales, to suggest the sequences are taking place simultaneously.

Parallel Editing-An editing technique that allows two or more simultaneous sets of action to unfold within a single film sequence

awesome continuous shot fight scene

This is an amazing scene from the protector where it follows the main character (kham played by tony jaa) as he fights he was to the top of a building. watch here.

unlike the scene from Old Boy (shown in class) where the action is almost 2-d and tracked along the background, this scene is 3-d as both the character and the camera man move up three stories before the final showdown.
