Match on Action
A match on action is an editing technique in which multiple shots are used to convey a single action occurring. This allows for very fast, but understandable editing.
Shot/Reverse Shot
A shot/reverse shot is where a character is shown looking at another character, cutting to a shot of the other character looking back. Due to use of the 180° rule, the viewer understands that the two characters are looking at each other
The 180° Rule
The 180° rule is a core fundamental of continuity editing in which an imaginary line which passes through the scene cannot be crossed by the camera, as not to confuse the viewer. The 180° rule is especially prominent in dialogue heavy scenes, in which often important characters are positioned as centered in the line.
