2. MATCH ON ACTION
A continuity cut that splices two
different views of the same action
together at the same moment in the
movements, making it seem to
continue uninterrupted.

3. SHOT/REVERSE SHOT
Two or more shots edited
together that alternate
characters, typically in a
conversation.

4. 180 DEGREE RULE
The continuity approach to editing
dictates that the camera should stay
on one side of the action to ensure
consistent left-right special relations
between elements from shot to shot.
Same as axis of action.

5. SOUNDTRACK

ALL THE SOUNDS IN THE FILM.

6. LOCATION SOUND

kind of room tone or wild track recorded at the shoot.

7. SYNC SOUND
When a picture is being shot, the sound that is recorded
at the same time as the picture is called sync sound. A
crystal or cable sync is used for sync sound in order for
things to be lined up correctly and not be out-of-
sync. Sometimes the term is referred to as “lip sync”
because the footage may include a number of people
speaking

8. DIEGESIS/NON-DIEGESIS
In a narrative film, the world of the film's story. Includes
events that are presumed or occurred off-screen

narrator's commentary, represented as coming from a
source outside the space of the narrative.

9. MIX
Combining two or more sound tracks by recording them
onto a single one.
A method of placing all one’s soundtracks on one
soundtrack that contains the right mixture of the
sounds at the right equalization, filtering and
volumes. The end result is what a person wishes
his/her sound to be.

10. ADR
Automatic dialogue replacement (ADR) is a process of
re-recording dialogue in the studio in synchronization
with the picture.
