4. STANDARD CUTS
A standard cut, or hard cut,
means simply cutting from
clip A to clip B.

5. ACTION MATCH CUT
The best kind of cut is one the
viewers don’t see.
Of course, you can see every cut,
but some you notice and some you
don’t. Cutting on the action is the
best way to hide a cut.

6. DISSOLVE CUT
What is the effect of
a dissolve cut?

7. SHOT / REVERSE
SHOT
S/RS indicates the relationship
between two characters: it signifies
and sometimes exaggerates their
closeness or their opposition
(depending on the context). The
amount of time given to a character’s
reaction shots can convey their status
in the scene.

provides insight to a
character’s private
thoughts.

9. FINAL SHOT
In any scene, which character or
characters are shown in the final shot of
the sequence? This is often the character
with which the audience is expected to
identify.

10. INTERCUTTING:
JUXTAPOSITION
Although typically a narrative device,
intercutting can set up juxtaposition
between parallel storylines,
exaggerating the impact or meaning
of each by highlighting a point of
difference.

11. JUMP CUTS
These are rarely used in TV or film; when
they are, they tend to suggest either a)
chaos and disorder, b) self-conscious
ellipsis (drawing attention to the rapid pace
of the action) or c) a director who likes to
break the rules!

12. PACE OF EDITING
This can imply character qualities, especially if
only one or two characters are in the
sequence.
A fast pace might suggest energy or panic
while infrequent cuts (long takes) might
suggest calm, a casual attitude, or provide
documentary-style realism. Similar effects can
be achieved with speed ramping and slow-
motion.

13. PREVALENCE
How much screen time does a
character get? The more time we
see them on screen, the more
important their role. This can
develop during a scene to change
character’s status.
