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.

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.
