A sudden shift to another scene of action or different viewing angle; or a shot inserted between scenes to effect a transition (as a bridging shot).
6,7,8,9,10 A drawing or model of something with part of its outside removed to give a view of the inside.
A shot which shows us something that was not featured in the previous shot, but is somehow relevant to it. A useful device for separating two very similar shots or for creating a visual break.
a shot of an action, object, or person not part of the principal scene-- reaction shots are usually cutaways.
a representation (drawing or model) of something in which the outside is omitted to reveal the inner parts
a related shot that is "away" from the basic scene
a shot that literally cuts away from the point of focus
a shot that's usually of something other than the current action
Transitional footage normally inserted between cuts containing the same subject in slightly different screen positions to avoid a 'jump cut'.
A brief shot that interrupts the continuity of the main action of a film, often used to depict related matter or indicate concurrent action.
a shot that looks away from the central action of an event; used in editing as a transition to provide a break between other shots
A piece of video footage where you are only interested in the picture which is normally put over someone talking. For example if someone is talking about a forest you may use cutaways of the forest for the person to talk over.
A short scene between two shots of the same person, showing something other than that person.
Shot of something outside the frame which can be used to hide an edit.
a shot which is not an integral part of the main action but is related to it. For instance, the main action might be a shot of racing cars driving around a race track. A cutaway might be the shot of someone watching.
In continuity editing, a shot that does not include any part of the preceding shot and that bridges a jump in time or other break in the continuous flow of action.
a quick transition to another secondary shot (often of some lesser or ironic element of the setting) and back to the main shot. (E.g., a brief shot of a dog listening to a human conversation that is the subject of the scene).
when you need to avoid a jump cut or compress time, you “cut away†from the principal subject. The more common example of a cutaway would be a shot of a reporter listening to an interview guest. These reporter shots are usually shot AFTER the interview. When the interview is edited, you can cover the jump cuts with cutaways of the reporter.
Shot of something other than principal action (but peripherally related), frequently used as transitional footage or to avoid a jump cut.
(n) A shot of something other than the main action in an action sequence. In an interview, a cutaway could be a shot of the reporter listening as the source talks.
Shot of something other than the principal action that is shown while the principal action continues. A cutaway is frequently used as transitional footage or to avoid a jump cut.
A shot used to connect two scenes.A cutaway may be used to cover a jump cut and help smooth the transition.
In film, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously-filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually followed by a cutback to the first shot, but not always.
