2. Periodic return to an initial establishing view






3. 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.






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






5. Edits that intentionally create gaps in action






6. Style of editing creating formal patterns of shapes - masses - colors - lines - and lighting patterns through links between shots






7. One or more shots that describe a continuous space - time - and action






8. Screen darkens






9. A relatively close shot of two characters






10. Insert that breaks continuity






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






12. A relatively close shot of two characters






13. Insert that breaks continuity






14. Interspersed






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






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

24. One or more shots that describe a continuous space - time - and action






25. 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.






26. 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.






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






28. Superimposes one shot over the next






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






30. Screen lightens






31. 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






32. Shots of relatively long duration






33. If a character looks offscreen - the next shot will likely show the character or object that the character is looking at in a screen position that matches the gaze






34. Interspersed






35. Film interrupts the action to 'cut away' to another image or action

40. 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






41. Style of editing creating formal patterns of shapes - masses - colors - lines - and lighting patterns through links between shots






42. Multiple shots of the same action; disrupts continuity






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