180 Degree Rule: is a basic guideline in filmmaking, that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene, should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called 'crossing the line.' The new shot, front he opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Continuity Editing: is the predominant style of editing in narrative cinema and television. The purpose on continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and the establish a logical coherence between shots. In most films, logical coherence is achieved by cutting to continuity, which emphasises smooth transition of time and space. However, some films incorporate cutting continuity into a more complex classical cutting technique, one which also tries to show pshyclogical continuity of shots. The montage technique relies on symbolic association of ideas between shots rather than association of simple physical action for its continuity.

Match on Action: a match cut is any cut that emphasises spatio-temporal continuity. It is a cut and film editing from one scene to another, in which the two camera shots compositional elements match, helping to establish a strong continuity of action- and linked two ideas with a metaphor.

Establishing shot: a shot that establishes a scene, often giving the viewer information about where the shot is set. Can be a close up shot but is often a wide/long shot and usually appears at the beginning of a scene. 

Reaction shotReaction shot is a term used in motion picture production and cinematography referring to a basic unit of film grammer. It is a shot which cuts away from the main scene in order to show the reaction of a character to it.

Long Shot: In photography, film and video, a long shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. It has been suggested that long-shot ranges usually corresponded to approximately what would be the distance between the front row of the audience and the stage in live theatre. It is now common to refer to a long shot as a "wide shot" because it often requires the use of a wide-angle lens. When a long shot is used to set up a location and its participants in film and video, it is called an established shot.

Shot Reverse Shot:  Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewers assumes that they are looking at each other.
