Post 5:Jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots
Jump cut
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way.
Over-the-Shoulder
In film or video, an over the shoulder shot, is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward.
Cutaway
A Cutaway Shot is the interruption of a continuously filmed action, by inserting a view of something else. It could be off a different subject, a close up of a different part of the subject or just about anything else. Cutaway Shots are effectively used when is correct, as they can help add drama, tension and sometimes make films more interesting.
Point of view shots
A point of view shot, is a short film scene that shows what a character, is looking at. It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction. The technique of POV is one of the foundations of film editing.

Continunity
Continuity is consistency of the characteristics of persons. This is done by following a set of rules, you must make sure that each scene is the same in all out takes, so that it doesn't matter if you stopped filming and had to carry on the next day beacuse the scene will look exactly the same as it was when you left it.
Here is an internet link which I used to help me find out what continuity in a media context is, and it explains it in more detail than what I have said.
180 Degree rule
Whem filming the 180 degree rule is a basic guideline between the on-screen relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.
An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first.
If the camera passes over the axis, it is called crossing the line or jumping the line.
The diagram below shows this.
Shot-reverse-shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

This is when something happens in the scene then when there is a cut the same piece of action must also be going on. This is also an example of continuity editing and this is also very important in helping the audience understand exactly what is happening throughout.

Shot Sizes
3) medium close up
4) three quater shot (3/4 shot)
5) medium long shot
6) long shot
7) medium shot.
Below are drawings which i have scanned, of the different shot sizes which I used as a plan to tell me what photo's i needed to do for each shot. I did this using a digital camera.
My shot sizes
My Camera Shots
Below i have inserted pictures taken on a digital camera showing examples of the different shot sizes:
.JPG)
Extreme close up (ECU)
Close up (CU)
Medium close up (MCU).JPG)
Medium shot (MS)
Three quarter shot (3/4 shot)
Medium long shot (MLS)
Long shot (LS)Using different shots creates different effects for example using an extreme close up shot will show facial expressions which will display an effect eg. serious or frightened.
