Matched cut

 A Matched Cut is where there is a familiar relationship between the shots making it seem smooth. It is usually used in action, as the audience will not notice the cut as much as they are too involved with the plot. 


The 180° rule is a rule which states that two characters in a scene, should always be in the same position when the audience looks at them e.g A person always stays on the right of the screen, where as B is always in the left. If the camera crosses the imaginary axis, its called crossing the line. This shot is then called the reverse angle.
