Establishing Shot: A shot that gives viewers an idea of where the scene is taking place. These usually involve a shot from a long distance, such as a bird’s eye view.
Cross Cutting: Technique used to give the illusion that two story lines of action are happening at the same time by rapidly cutting back and forth between them.
Cutaway: The interruption of a continuously filmed action with a shot that’s peripherally related to the principal action.
Eyeline Match: A technique based on the idea that viewers want to see what on-screen characters are seeing. For example, if a character is looking intently at an off-screen object, the following shot will be of that object.
Fade: A visual effect used to indicate a change in place and time. This involves a gradual brightening as a shot opens or a gradual darkening as the shot goes black or to another colour. Sound also fades in and out to convey the change.
Cuts: An editing technique that allows the audience to first hear audio from a shot, and then see it.
Jump Cut: An abrupt cut that creates a lack of continuity between shots by leaving out parts of the action.
L Cut: An editing changeover between one shot and another in film, where the visual and audio shift at different times. Also called a split edit.
Matched Cut: A cut joining two shots with matching compositional elements. This helps to establish strong continuity of action.
Montage: A sequence of shots assembled in juxtaposition of one another to create an emotional impact, condense a story, or convey an idea.
The techniques i am going to use help the narrative move forward, the film having a linear structure and each cut or technique is to help move the story forward. The film is to try make you feel as if you are there with the girl thats why close up shots and matching of eye-line will be important. These shoots also have to be carefully thought out as there is no dialogue therefore each shot needs to think about showing body language and facial expression to convey a story that would have usually been done in dialogue between characters.
