• Close ups are shots that frame the subject tightly.

• compositing Superimposing multiple layers of video to create a single image. Each layer may move independently.
• cut Instantaneous change from one shot to another.
• cutaway Shot of something other than principal action (but peripherally related), frequently used as transitional footage or to avoid a jump cut.
• dissolve Image transition effect where one picture gradually disappears as another appears. Also called a cross-fade.
• edit Process or result of selectively sequencing video and/or audio clips into a new video file. Typically involves reviewing raw footage and transferring desired segments from source footage into a new
predetermined sequence.
• fade Gradual diminishing or heightening of visual or audio intensity. Usage: fade out, fade to black, fade in or fade up from black.
• filter effect A digital effect that is applied to a clip to change a specific parameter of video or audio, such as the colour of a visual element or the reverb on an audio track.
• Lower Third, derives from the Rule of Thirds. A Lower Third is a type of title used commonly by news broadcasters, YouTubers, vloggers, and interviewers. 
• montage A sequence of shots assembled in juxtaposition to each other to communicate a particular idea or mood. The implied relationship between seemingly unrelated material is used to create a
new message.
• post-production (post) Any video production activity following initial recording. Typically involves editing, the addition of background music, voice over, sound effects, titles, and/or various visual
effects. Results in completed production.
• raw footage Pre-edited footage, usually direct from the camera
• Storyboard consists of drawings that illustrate all of the scenes in your production. They are an organized and direct way to visualize what needs to be shot or animated.
• Timeline An editing interface that lays out a video project in a linear fashion.
• titling Process or result of incorporating on-screen text as credits, captions or any other alphanumeric communication.
• transition Any visual changes between two discrete scenes. Cuts, dissolves, fades and wipes are the most common types of transitions.
• wipe Transition from one shot to another, where the edge of the transition moves across the original image as a line or a pattern, revealing the new shot.
• sound effects Contrived audio, usually pre-recorded, incorporated with a video soundtrack to resemble a real occurrence. Blowing on a microphone, for example, might simulate wind to accompany
hurricane images.
• soundtrack The audio portion of a video recording, often multifaceted with natural sound, voiceovers, background music, etc.
• Intro short introduction at the beginning of the video
• Outro short information at the end of the video before it ends
