Requires full range of visual design and composition tools. Video effects (vfx) and special effects (sfx) Cut on action: as simple as a character turning, throwing something, going through a door. Cut away: cutting to insert shot of something and then back. Cross cut: phone conversations, can amp up the tension of a sequence. Match cut: cuts from one shot to similar by matching action or composition, used as scene. Jump cut: cuts between same shot, show passing of time transitions. Invisible cut: impression of a single take, hidden in blackness.
