Continuity: shows the flow of a scene therefore it looks much more realistic and the audience doesn't really notice. The affect that this has on the audience is that the don't notice the scene is jumpy and looks very realistic and allows the audience to continue watching with no problem with the visual on screen.

180 degree rule: this is an invisible line where the camera man/woman stands on one side of the line so that it doesn't show disorientation. Because if they were to change sides then it would look different and then this would cause confusion for the audience. The audience may not want to continue watching since it doesn't look professional.

Cutting to the beat: is when an action is synchronized with a beat which is usually a non diegetic sound. This goes well with scenes since it fits right. This is usually show in music videos more then movies. This audience then know when the next camera shot is coming.

Shot reverse shot: is when an action is shown between two characters this is usually when characters are having a conversation with one another. This shows the audience the reaction of the characters while showing shots back and forth. This way the audience get to see it as if it were a real conversation in real life this makes it more realistic for the audience.

Montage: is when shots are put together to show different passages of times. The affect of a montage is that it condenses time instead of watching that one scene for much longer than it should be otherwise it could get boring. It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot.

Jump cuts: are jerky cuts that are shown usually to show relevance in a scene. This is so that the audience can see reactions between what the actually scene and then the people that may be in the scene. This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forwards in time.

Cutaways: is shot that has been added into a scene to show the characters reaction to something or to someone. This is to show other people's reaction who are in the scene otherwise it just seems very dull and boring and the audience would just have to assume how the character is reacting.

Parallel Editing/Crosscutting: two narratives that are put together to create juxtaposition. This shows the audience a primary scene which is the most important scene then it shows a secondary scene that is relevant to that primary scene.

Transitions
Wipes: is way of changing scene smoothly otherwise it could look boring and dull.
Fade in/out: fade in is used more in the very beginning scene when the movie or tv show first starts because it gently eases the audience in. Fade out however is the opposite and happens right at the end of the movie or tv show.

Dissolves: is when one scene smoothly changes to another scene because it looks a lot more appealing.
