soviet montage theory

the kuleshow effect is a concept in film making in the 1920s kuleshow put together a film showing the same expression so the audience could intemperate compared to his emotion and items

coined by sergei eienstein

montage theory is the ides that placing together separate section of film could create ideas upon the individual shots

eye + water = crying
ear + next door = listening

transitions

the process form one shot to another the most common one is a cut but there are many more

fade
the preceding shot fades into black from which the following shot emerges
as well as this could communicate a lot to the audience

cross dissolve

a preceding shot merges into the following shot
could also show and communicate connection

wipe

a trans where one image is revealed over another horizontally vertically diagonally or even using a shape

pace and rhythm

the duration gives context
short - quick cuts a lot of action
long shot duration- intensity + focus on detail

continuity

helps viewer make sense of action by implying special relationship
temperal social

examples

180 degrees rule
you can only film in 180 degrees or else it will confuse the audience

cross cutting
an editing technique most often used in film to establish action occurring at the same time and usually in the same place

match on action
a shot that cuts to another shot where the second shot shows the same action that is in the first shot

the eye line match
where a shot matches the eye line of a character

match cut
"In film, a match cut is a cut from one shot to another where the two shots are matched by the action or subject and subject matter. For example, in a duel a shot can go from a long shot on both contestants via a cut to a medium closeup shot of one of the duel lists."

parallel editing 
"Parallel editing (cross cutting) is the technique of alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations. If the scenes are simultaneous, they occasionally culminate in a single place, where the relevant parties confront each other."

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 if at all. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time."
