shots
a single piece of film uninterrupted by cuts
a shot
The camera films the subject from below. This usually has the effect of making the subject look larger than normal, and therefore strong, powerful, and threatening.
low angle
the main source of light in a photograph or film.
key lighting
A cut from one shot to another in which a certain subject, sound, or action is carried over, or matched.
match cut
Star Wars: talisman
light saber
A specific type of extreme long shot used to tell the audience where and when the program takes place.
establishing shot
The camera is above the subject. This usually has the effect of making the subject look smaller than normal, giving him or her the appearance of being weak, powerless, and trapped.
high angle
Darkness and shadows. Often create suspense/ suspicion
low key lighting
One of the most common editing techniques designed to hide the instantaneous and potentially jarring shift from one camera viewpoint.

denny
a shot from some distance away that captures a subject from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet.

dutch angle

pan
an 3-shot cut-away (or more) editing technique that shows us a character, what that character is looking at, and then their reaction.

Gives the viewer the idea of a single take but cuts are hidden in blackness. Can also hide the cut within the motion of the camera movement, object crossing the frame or subject leaving the frame.
