Post 5 - Jump Cuts, Over-The-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways, and Point of View Shots

Jump Cuts - A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly.

Over-The-Shoulder Shot - An over the shoulder shot is a shot of someone or something taken over the shoulder of another person

Example:

Cutaway - In film, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cutback to the first shot.

Point of View shot - Camera placement at the approximate position of a character or person that gives a similar view to what the view from them would be.
