Post 5: jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots

Definitions

Jump Cut: A cut to later action from one filmed scene to the next, creating an effect of discontinuity or acceleration.
Over-Shoulder-Shot: In film or video, an over the shoulder shot (also over shoulder, OS, OTS, or third-person shot) is a shot of someone or something taken over the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward
Cutaway: A brief shot that interrupts the main action of a film, often to depict related matter or supposedly concurrent action.
Point of view shot: (also known as POV shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction (see shot reverse shot). The technique of POV is one of the foundations of film editing.
