Editing Techniques

Cutting on action
- a cut when the subject is in motion
- used to show dynamic movement and
  bridges the gap between the viewer
  and the action

Jump cut
- a cut with the exact same framing
  before and after, but the subject is in
  a different position
- used to illustrate waiting for long 
  periods of time without boring the 
  viewer, used to show progress, montages

Cross cut
- a cut between two locations or
  subjects
- used in telephone calls to show
  the viewer both sides of the conversation,
  used to elevate tension ie. a kidnapper
  walking into a house whilst someone is
  attempting to escape
