editing

Transitions-how it goes from on shot to another shot- fade,cross fade into another scene

Pace and speed of cuts- where you see it go from one shot to another shot.

CGI- computer generated imaging

Green screening- film something behind a green screen make it look like they are anywhere you want them to be

Graphics-

1. straight cut- straight form one scene to another scene
2. jump cut- take one long tape cutting it up to put into one long scene (speed up time)
3. parallel editing/ cross cutting- way to build suspense in two scenes by jumping between the two 
4. cut away- informing  a viewer where you are in a scene  showing the environment around the character.
5. montage- lots of shots put together as one to make it look lots of time has past with change in the characters 
6. match cut- matching a characters actions or movements of one scene with ones in the next scene.
