In this video essay, Director/Editor Joey Scoma is here to talk to you about  simple: cuts and transitions. Joey lists and defines the different cuts and transitions available to you as an editor, with examples from classic and modern films. It’s up to you to decide when and why you’d use them!

CUTTING ON ACTION
This means, cutting from one shot to another while the subject is still in motion.

CUT AWAY
This means, cutting to an insert shot of something, and then back.
CROSS CUT
This is when the editor intercuts, cuts back and forth between locations.
JUMP CUT
Jump cuts are when the editor cuts between the SAME shot.
MATCH CUT
Match cuts are often incorrectly referred to as jump cuts… A match cut cuts from one shot to a similar shot, by either matching the action or the composition.
FADE IN / FADE OUT
It’s just dissolving either to, or from black.
DISSOLVE
It’s when you blend one shot into another.
SMASH CUT
Smash cuts are abrupt transitions.
IRIS It used to be an in-camera effect back in the day, when you could manually open and close your iris to transition from black. Nowadays, it’s used as a stylistic choice.
WIPE
A wipe is a wipe…
INVISIBLE CUT
It is used to give the impression of a single take…
L – CUT
It is an audio-based transition. This is when the audio from the current shot carries over to the next shot.
J – CUT
It is when the audio from the next scene starts BEFORE you get to it.
