Question

directions: match the type of edits.

a cut that shows us the continuation of a character’s or object’s motion through space

cuts to an insert shot and then back

the cutting together of two or more lines of action that occur simultaneously at different locations

a cut creating a disorienting ellipsis between two shots caused by the absence of a portion of film that would have provided continuity

the effect in which the film image closes in on an image with a gradually tightening circle

a transitional device in which a shot gradually superimposes over another shot

options: dissolve, cutaway, jump cut, match on action, iris out, parallel editing

Explanation:

Each description is matched to its corresponding film editing term based on standard definitions of film editing techniques:

1. A cut that continues motion through space is the core definition of match on action.
2. Cutting to an insert shot and returning is the defining action of a cutaway.
3. Intercutting simultaneous, separate actions is parallel editing.
4. A disorienting ellipsis from missing continuity footage is a jump cut.
5. An image closing in via a tightening circle is an iris out.
6. Gradually superimposing one shot over another is a dissolve.

Answer:

1. a cut that shows us the continuation of a character's or object's motion through space → match on action
2. cuts to an insert shot and then back → cutaway
3. the cutting together of two or more lines of action that occur simultaneously at different locations → parallel editing
4. a cut creating a disorienting ellipsis between two shots caused by the absence of a portion of film that would have provided continuity → jump cut
5. the effect in which the film image closes in on an image with a gradually tightening circle → iris out
6. a transitional device in which a shot gradually superimposes over another shot → dissolve
