1. Continuity editing that establishes spatial and temporal clarity by breaking down a scene - often using progressively tighter framings that remain consistent spatial relations






2. Multiple shots of the same action; disrupts continuity






3. Fragmentation of time and space






4. The order according to which shots or scenes convey the temporal sequence of the story's events






5. The direction and pace of actions - gestures - and other movements are linked with corresponding or contrasting movements in one or more other shots






6. Organization of editing according to different paces or tempos determined by how quickly cuts are made






7. The order according to which shots or scenes convey the temporal sequence of the story's events






8. Dividing up the narrative into large units






9. Alternating between two or more strands of simultaneous action






10. Superimposes one shot over the next






11. Style emphasizing the breaks and contrasts between images joined by a cut






12. Join two images by moving a line across one image to replace it with the next






13. Initial long shot that establishes setting and orients the viewer in space to a clear view of the action






14. Screen lightens






15. Establishes verisimilitude - constructs a coherent time - tells stories clearly and efficiently






16. Abridgment in time of the narrative implied by editing






17. Screen darkens






18. Establishes verisimilitude - constructs a coherent time - tells stories clearly and efficiently






19. Begins with the shot of one character taken from an angle at one of the axis of action - continues with a shot of the second character from the reverse angle at the other end of the axis - and proceeds back and forth.






20. Another name for continuity editing






21. Another name for continuity editing






22. Shots of relatively long duration






23. Initial long shot that establishes setting and orients the viewer in space to a clear view of the action






24. Tempo at which the film seems to move






25. Superimposes one shot over the next






26. One shot must be followed by another shot taken from at least 30 degrees from that of the first. A transition between two shots less than 30 degrees apart is perceived as unnecessary.






27. Appearance of truth






28. Interspersed






29. Screen lightens






30. Restricts possible camera setups to the 180-degree area on one side of an imaginary line drawn between the characters or figures of a scene






31. Continuity editing that establishes spatial and temporal clarity by breaking down a scene - often using progressively tighter framings that remain consistent spatial relations






32. And edit through which a dominant shape or line in one shot provides a visual transition to a similar shape or line in the next shot






33. Appearance of truth






34. Follows a predetermined structure






35. Periodic return to an initial establishing view






36. A variety of alternative practices that call attention to the cut through spatial tension - temporal jumps - or rhythmic or graphic pattern so as to affect viscerally - disorient - or intellectually engage the viewer.






37. Abridgment in time of the narrative implied by editing






38. Any number of shots that are unified as a coherent action - regardless of space and time






39. One shot must be followed by another shot taken from at least 30 degrees from that of the first. A transition between two shots less than 30 degrees apart is perceived as unnecessary.






40. Tempo at which the film seems to move






41. Style emphasizing the breaks and contrasts between images joined by a cut






42. Depicts a character's response to something the viewers have just been shown






43. Join two images by moving a line across one image to replace it with the next






44. Screen darkens






45. Distance the viewer from material






46. Entire scene in one take






47. Organization of editing according to different paces or tempos determined by how quickly cuts are made






48. Interspersed






49. Temporal relation of shots and scenes to the amount of time that passes in the story
