Asynchronous sound - sound which is indigenous to the action but not precisely synchronized with the action.
Two Shot - used to create a relationship between two characters, normally during dialogue. Two shots may be combined with mid close ups.
Close Up - focusing mainly on the face or a detail of the mise en scene. Close up shots magnify the object, emphasising the importance. Often used in 'shot reverse shots' of dialogue between characters.
Eyeline Match - is a continuity editing practice that creates a look or a gaze of a character as it follows the eye. E.g. if a character is looking at an object it will cut from the character to the object.
Shot Reverse Shot - is a method of filming a conversation, it shows one characters point of view, then the other’s, then back to the first character’s.
Jump Cut - is a cut to later action from one filmed scene to the next, creating an effect of discontinuity. A jump cut is where two shots of the same subject are taken from slightly different camera positions. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to “jump” position.
Establishing Shot - similar to a long shot or extreme long shot, the establishing shot is used to ‘set the scene’ at the beginning of a film/TV drama. Tends to show the setting.
Over The Shoulder Shot - gives us a character’s point of view but includes part of the character’s shoulder or the side of the head. This type of shot is very common when two characters are conversing.
Dolly Shot - the camera moves horizontally alongside the characters or action or scene. The camera is moved along rails or tracks in order to follow the action.
Depth Of Field - is the zone between the nearest and furthest points at which the camera can obtain a sharp focus.
