Match on action-Where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot’s action.

Graphic Match-In a graphic match cut, the first and the second shot share the same shapes, colours or composition

Eyeline Match- Eyeline match is a film editing technique to indicate to the audience what a character is seeing. … In the next shot, you’ll see exactly what the character sees, from the same angle they appear to see it.

Match on Action is when there is a cut to connect two or more similar actions e.g. a character falling over cutting to a tree falling over

Graphic Match is when there is a cut to connect two or more similar shapes

Eyeline Match is when there is a cut to connect a character to what they’re looking at, typically from a character’s perspective

Give an example of where at least 3 of these movements were used in a film.

Zoom out: The filmed object will shrink in apparent size, and more objects come into view. The speed of the zoom allows for a further degree of cinematographic freedom.

Tilt up: The definition of a tilt is a tip or a slope. An example of a tilt is the condition of a cup on its side. Tilt is defined as to tip or slope in one direction. An example of to tilt is to turn one’s head to the side.

Tilt Down: A tilt down shot is shot that uses a cinematographic technique called tilting in which the camera stays fixed but rotates down on a vertical plane. Tilting is similar to the motion of an individual raising or lowering their heads.

L-Cut- In this technique, the audience sees Character A speaking and the scene cuts to Character B as A continues their dialogue into the next scene/shot, allowing the audience to see B’s reaction.

J-Cut- The opposite of an L-cut. In this technique, the audience sees Character B but only hears Character A, and then cuts to Character A. This allows the audience to see B’s reaction.

L cuts – as caracter A continues their dialogue the scene cuts to character B, this helps the viewers hear the dialogue while also seeing the reaction of character B

J cuts- This is the opposite of the L cut, with this technique the viewer hears the dialogue from characteer A but only sees character B on screen (this provides emotional information and context) then cuts back to character A

J CUT – A J cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from a following scene overlaps the picture from the preceding scene, so that the audio portion of the later scene starts playing before its picture as a lead-in to the visual cut.

l CUT – An L cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from preceding scene overlaps the picture from the following scene, so that the audio cuts after the picture, and continues playing over the beginning of the next scene.

J Cuts: The audio from the next scene plays whilst the image from the previous scene stays on screen i.e: The camera stays on person A whilst person B starts talking

L Cuts: The image from the scene changes whilst the audio from the previous image is still playing i.e: The camera switches to person B when person A is still talking

A J-Cut is when the audio from a scene starts playing during a preceding scene such that the audio is already playing when the cut happens

An L-Cut is when the audio from a scene continues through the start of the next scene such that the audio continues after the cut happens

L Cut: An L cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from preceding scene overlaps the picture from the following scene, so that the audio cuts after the picture, and continues playing over the beginning of the next scene. 

These cuts allow editors to have the sound or dialogue of one scene linger into the next. The term derives from the “L” shape that the edit looks like on a timeline.

J Cut: A J cut is a variant of a split edit film editing technique in which the audio from a following scene overlaps the picture from the preceding scene, so that the audio portion of the later scene starts playing before its picture as a lead-in to the visual cut. Also called an audio lead or audio advance.

J-cuts are used for emotional effect as well as in smoothing transitions, keeping attention, and helping with pace. While on the surface the concept seems simple, they’re an extremely powerful technique if used effectively. The technique gets its name from the way the footage and audio appear in video editing software.
