Different Shots used in TV
Action Shot: a method of capturing an object in action and displaying it in a single image
with multiple sequential appearances of the object, e.g. car crash- as soon as the car is about
to crash is cuts to a different angle but still shows us the car crashing.
Cut Aways: camera cuts to something different, e.g. death- when someone is about to get
killed, no one wants to see them actually die, so they will still play a noise of a gun shot or
the noise when someone gets stabbed but they will quickly change the shot to something to
do with death, like a blood splatter or a picture of a famous dead person. Sex- sex is rarely
shown on TV and when it is, it’s never shown properly so they might show the couple kissing
and fade out to a fire and then cut back to the couple after and sometimes they cut it to
something that represents sex, e.g. a train entering a tunnel.
Cross Cuts: between shots, e.g. a person being somewhere they shouldn’t be, door opens
(are they about to get caught?), person comes through the door and the other one has
vanished.
Jump Cut: same scene just cutting it to miss out time, e.g. a family sat waiting in a hospital
room and the camera just jumps to them in a different position but still in the hospital room.
Match Cuts: cuts from one to another using something from one scene, e.g. Greased
Lightening, Forest Gump when he is closing his eyes and it switches to him doing it as a
child.
Fade in/fade out- fade to black and then fade back in to the shot.
Dissolve- one shot to another, represent to pass time, dissolve between same shot or
dissolve out of one shot to show another, e.g. Wild Child when she’s in the car on the way to
school.
Smash Cuts- going from something intense to calm or calm to intense, someone waking up
from a nightmare.
Invisible cut- gives impression of a single take.
L-Cut= audio translation: links two scenes together with sound. Takes a sound from the first
shot and carries it on in the second one, e.g. a kettle on a stove whistling in the first shot
changed to a football coach blowing a whistle.
J-Cut= hear what’s going on before you see what’s going on, e.g. people speaking but the
camera is pointing at the ceiling and then slowly points to them and they are still speaking.
