Editing / camera shots

Crosscutting or parallel editing
Although typically a narrative device, inter-cutting can set up juxtaposition between parallel story lines, exaggerating the impact or meaning of each by highlighting a point of difference relating to representation.

Inter-cutting
When inter-cutting is used to draw two story lines together, this can be structured to create tension and therefore heighten the audiences identification with a particular character.

Reverse shot
A reverse shot is one character being shown to talk back to another unseen character.
-Shows the characters emotions and facial expressions
-May show conflict between the two characters, as they are separated.

Cutaway shot
A cutaway shot is when the scene cuts to another different scene. This is usually followed by it then cutting back to the original scene.

Cut in shot
Similar to a cutaway shot, a cut in shot focuses on some part of the scene in detail before cutting.

Eye line match
A eye line match is when the shot cuts to view what character would be seeing.
