Two Characters in a scene should always have the same left/right relationship to one another. (example, if a car leave from the left side of a screen, it should enter from the right.)

Cuts directly from scene to another. In action scenes it is used to suggest the continuity of action. It can also be used to show sharp contrast of scenes.

Interrupts the scene by bringing in a short scene of something similar to the scene that is happening. (example: A man waking up in the morning to get his newspaper might show cutaways of the newspaper boy, school buses or birds chirping)

Where a new scene fades into a previous scene. Can be used to imply a great deal of time passing.

Similar to the cutaway shot except it only shows a part of the master shot of a scene such as a close-up of the face of a character.

The whole segment filmed showing every character from that scene.

Shows what a character is looking at in the 1st person view of the character, through his/her eyes.

A very long shot of several minutes, used to tell a narrative or add drama. A dolly will be used in the case of a moving sequence shot.

A scene that shows a character looking at somebody. Then the next scene showing that person looking back at the first character.
