hollywood montage wipe

Visible on screen as a bar travelling across the frame pushing one shot off and pulling the next shot into place. Rarely used in contemporary film.
180 rule

The 180° rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

:Editing Process by which shots are put together into sequences or scenes.

cross-cutting

The alternating of shots from 2 sequences, often in different locales, suggesting that they are taking place at the same time.
fast-cutting editing

It gives a dramatic effect that combines music, tighter and tighter close-ups and shortening of hot length.
continuity-editing

It’s the type of editing, which follows certain rules, effortlessly connects shots so as or give the illusion of continuity of time and place.
montage

Montage comes from the French word meaning to edit, its assembling bits of footage to form a whole.hollywood montage is described as a sequence of shots which summarise an action.Music soundtrack also builds tempo up a good example would be this rocky clip, this helps to keep viewers interested n what they are watching
Flashback

It suggests an interruption of the present by a shot or series of shots representing the past. Flash forward is the exact opposite.
energy wipe effect

A line that travels across the screen, ‘pushing off’ one images revealing another but in word form.
fade

eliminating images from normal brightness to a black screen. A fade in the opposite. Signifies the passing of time
dissolve/lap dissolve

example of kuleshov Effect


the whole idea of a kuleshov effect is a meter for, were their is a straight video with a face, then the face gives different responses to other clips of video ,even if they don't match, it will work, because it shows the character reacting to each of these video scenes clips. for example in this video it shows a man with a straight face, and shows him reacting to a emotions like sadness(death)lust(woman) and his hunger for food. i also did an kuleshov effect. we had one person holding the camera, one being the actor, then the rest we recorded scenes of a graveyard,people walking and cars moving while we were on top of a bridge
