Graphic Match-
Is a cut between two disconnected scenes. One shot ends in a frame containing the same element as the beginning frame of the next shot showing a connection between the two shots. A famous example is Hitchcock's 'Psycho' in the shower scene.
Short Cut-
Editing sequences so that the durations of the shots are very brief. Also known as a short cut as it is less than two seconds. We may feature short cuts within our film during the mental institute scene to show Katherine's mental state and how this effects her attentions span.
Shot Reverse Shot -
Two or more shots edited together that alternate characters, usually in a conversation situation. For example, each time the person speaks the short focus' on them and then the other person. As seen in the film Spiderman 3. We are going to us many shot reverse shots within our film as we have multiple conversations and we want to make sure that we can see each characters reaction to the situations they are in.
Cross cutting
A cut from one line of action to another. Also applied as an adjective to sequences which use such cuts. It is used to describe two or more scenes. The technique is used to highlight or contrast a particular theme of aspect of the story. We may use this technique at the end of our film as we are going to use the sisters finding the truth out about their long lost sister Katherine and cut to the Katherine showing how mentally unstable she is within the mental institute.
