Blocking: The arrangements made for the composition of a scene, especially the placement and movements of actors.



Clip - A brief segment excerpted from a film.



Fade - A transitional device in which either an image gradually dims until the viewer sees only a black screen (Fade-Out) or an image slowly emerges from a black screen to a clear and bright picture (Fade-In). A fade provides a strong break in continuity, usually setting off sequences.



Montage - A method of putting shots together in such a way that dissimilar materials are connected to make a statement.



Perspective - The way objects appear to the eye in terms of their relative positions and distances.



Script - A written description of the action, dialogue, and camera placements for a film.



Storyboard- A series of sketches (resembling a cartoon strip) showing potential ways various shots might be filmed.



Take - A single uninterrupted action of a camera as seen by a filmmaker.



Producer - The person who is responsible for all of the business aspects of making and releasing a film.



Out-Take - A take that is not included in the final version of a film.
