Different video editing shots with explanations



Jump cut:
We use this shot to show 2 sequential shots of the same subject, that are taken from camera positions that vary very slightly, jumping forwards in time. In this shot you see the far away however it jumps to a different shot where the subject is much closer.
Match on action:
This shot is when you cut to a new camera angle at the same point in time without breaking the flow of the previous shot. Here, you see the subject in a wide angle shot showing him traveling across the table. This shot then switches to a different shot of the subject closer up reaching the end of the table.
Shot reverse shot:
Here, we see 2 shots edited together that alternate the characters to make it appear like they are having a conversation with each other. In this video, you see an over the shoulder shot of one subject talking to another subject. This then switches to another over the shoulder shot of the second subject talking to the first subject.
Eye line match:
This shot shows the audience that the subject is looking at something in one shot. It then cuts to another shot to show the audience what they're looking at. Here, we see a shot of the subject reading a book. It then cuts to a close up shot of the page of the book to show what they're reading. This is useful to focus on one specific thing and to see what the subject is reacting to/ doing.
Omnipresence:
This editing technique gives us as the creators to move from one spot to another instantly. This allows the film maker to join two separate places together. In this video we see three shots of the subject sat on three different things. This allows us as an audience to understand that these are all linked together.
