Seamless
Seamless editing is where you seem to know what you are doing when you are editing, but the more you get deeply involved with the project you get less aware of what is happening.
Continuity
A system of cutting used to maintain continuous and clear narrative action by following a set of rules. The rules are; Establishing shot / reverse shot 180 degree rule 30 degree rule. Crosscutting match on action eyeline match re-establishing shot.

Jump cutting
Jump cutting is a cut in film editing in which two shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject shots to appear to 'jump' position in a discontinuous way. Jump cuts are considered a violation of classical continuity editing which aims to give the appearance continuous time and space in the story-world by editing.
Parallel editing
Parallel editing is also known as cross cutting, is a film editing technique of editing that cuts two subjects from one to another. The most important effect is parallel editing.
180 degree rule
The angle between any two consecutive shots should not exceed 180 degrees in order to maintain spatial relationships between individuals and objects in any given sequence of shots.
Splicing
Normally, film is edited by cutting sections of a film and rearranging of deleting them. The process can be very straightforward. A splicing machine allows film footage to be lined up and held in place while it is cut or spliced together.
Transitions
The fade:- The two key transitions are fade up from black and fade to black. Fading in from a single colour, conveys a sense of beginning. And nothing says the end like a fade to black transition. (fades can be used with any colours.)
The cut:- The most common transition is cut, this is simply one video clip changing instantly to the next shot. Cut transitions are the best way to keep the action moving along at a good pace. Straight cut transitions are simple, but they create small overall file sizes.

Establishing shots
A long shot or a even bigger long shot, can usually lose framing that shows the relations between the important objects and setting the scene.
Point of view shot
A point of view shot is a shot of what the individual / character sees. We as the audience get a glimpse of what the character is looking at. The point of view shot falls under the family of reverse cuts and it is also a great tool to engage the audience to see from the individual's eyes.
Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot may not be filmed in the correct order but it will be edited all together afterwards. you've got to make sure that the right amount of shots are filmed to make the shot reverse shot work.
Editing rhythm
Editing rhythm is what editors use to keep pace of the film up to match the action that is going on in the film. Slow cuts edits have a calming feel to the edit, where as a fast cut edits have a lively, aggressive feel to the edit.
