| Question | Answer |
| Long Shot (LS) | AKA: Full/Wide shot Shows entire object/figure & is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. |
| Big Close Up (BCU) | Bigger than a Close Up, smaller than and Extreme Close Up. BCU of a person: will include the eyes and mouth but not the whole head |
| Extreme Close Up (ECU) | Shows extreme detail. You would normally need a specific reason to get this close. It is too close to show general reactions or emotion except in very dramatic scenes. |
| Reverse Shot | Views action from the opposite side of the previous shot, as during a conversation between two actors, giving the effect of looking from one actor to the other |
| Cut away (CA) | Of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject, a close up of a different part of the subject or just anything else. Used as a "buffer" between shots (to help the editing process), or to add interest/information. |
| Noddy Shot | Common in interviews, this is a shot of the person listening and reacting to the subject. |
| Deep focus | Using a large depth of field so that the foreground, middle-ground and background are all in focus. |
| Dissolve | Method of transitioning from one shot to another by briefly superimposing one image upon another and then allowing the first image to disappear. A dissolve=stronger form of transition than a cut and indicates a distinct separation in action. |
| Cut in | Like a cutaway, but specifically refers to showing some part of subject in detail. Can be used to emphasise emotion etc. EG: hand movements can show enthusiasm, agitation, nervousness, etc. |
| Parallel Action | Cutting repeatedly between two separate events that may or may not be related. (Like split stage in Drama) |
| Continuity | Taking the viewer seamlessly and logically from one sequence or scene to another. It ensures that the narrative moves along and the suspension of disbelief is sustained. |
| Wipe | An optical effect in which an image appears to "wipe-off" or push aside the preceding image. Very common in the 1930s; less so today. |
| Expansion of Time/Time expansion | Making the duration of the video sequence longer than real-time. More Info on how this is done: mediacollege.com/video/editing/time/expansion.html |
| Contraction of Time/Time Compression | Making the duration shorter than real-time. http://www.mediacollege.com/video/editing/time/compression.html |
| Bridge | A method of conveying a jump in time or place or other discontinuity. EG: Falling calendar pages, seasonal changes. May not just be visual. |
| Chiaroscuro | Form of lighting depicting stark contrasts between light and shadow, especially in Film Noir. http://fromaclearerworld.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/chiaroscuro-in-film.html |
| Three-point lighting | Three separate light positions allowing photographer to illuminate subject however desired, while controlling the shading and shadows produced by direct lighting. |
