montage and montage sequence - correct answer ✔✔A quick succession of images or
impressions used to express an idea/sequence of short shots that condenses a period of time
Kuleshov Effect - correct answer ✔✔a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more
meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation
match cutting (invisible cutting) - correct answer ✔✔refers to the construction of sequences or
scenes in which space and time appear to be continuous
jump cut - correct answer ✔✔when there is a noticeable discontinuity between two similar
shots
fade - correct answer ✔✔to gradually disappear; like sunset followed by sunrise
dissolve - correct answer ✔✔suggests a closer connection between one sequence and the next;
convey the passage of time
intercutting/cross-cutting/parallel editing - correct answer ✔✔cut back and forth to develop
two threads of action simultaneously; develops several ideas or plotlines at once
dailies - correct answer ✔✔daily raw footage shot during the production of a motion picture
(also known as rushes or daily rushes, referring to the speed with which they must be prepared)
