Editing

Straight cut- Is where the viewpoint cuts from one to another.
Jump cut- Where it switches from one scene to another. It can disorientate the audience.

Dissolve- The new shot or scene comes into focus as the old one is going out. Parts of each scene are visible during the change.
Fade- The old shot discretely disappears before the new shot is established.
Superimposition- Two images are placed on top of each other before the one beneath the new one disappears.
Wipe- The new shot slides across one side of the screen to the other replacing the old shot seamlessly.
Split screen- Two shots/scenes are placed directly next to each other on the screen. It is used to highlight the similarities and differences of both shots. It can be used not only as an effect but also as an editing technique. The new image increases to take up all of the frame.
