Unit 31

Shot/Reverse - Two shots edited together that show alternate characters typically in conversation.

In this scene Jesse Pinkman and Hank Shrader are engaging in conversation. A camera has been placed above both of the participant's left shoulder, showing that they are both facing one another. 

180 Degree Rule - Two shots edited together that alternate people involved in conversation. Characters will often look right in one frame, and left in the next frame.

This season featuring flash backs shows the typical rule of 180 degrees which is often found in the American Sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. As a large part of the show is based on the characters sitting on the sofa watching television, the camera is often placed where the TV would be and this enables the camera to follow the 180 rule as they can still focus on the characters when they leave the sofa, which can be shown in the clip.

30 Degree Shot - The rule that the camera must move at least 30 degrees between shots of the same object in order to avoid jump cuts.

Cut In shot -A cut-in shot is a close-up shot of something visible in the main scene. A cutaway shot is a shot AWAY from the main scene.

Cross-Cutting - technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations.

Establishing Shot - A Long shot or an extreme long shot, showing the entirety of a scene of object.

This short scene from Shawshank Redemption shows an impressive establishing shot of the prison and surrounding grounds before it shows Andy the main protagonist inside the bus on his way into the prison which has just been displayed to the viewer.

Match On Action - One shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.

Temporal Overlap - 

Kuleshov Effect -An effect demonstrated by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation.

Einstein Montage - 

Eisenstein believed that film montage could create ideas or have an impact beyond the individual images. Two or more images edited together create a "tertium quid" (third thing) that makes the whole greater than the sum of its individual parts.
