Editing

Editing: 

Cutting rate: Frequent cuts may be used as deliberate interruptions to shock, surprise or emphasize.

Cross-cut: A cut from one line of action to another.
Buffer shot: A bridging shot - taken with separate cameras - are two different shots which show the continuity of movement.
Superimpositions: Images placed directly on top of each other usually to show a visual metaphor. 

Split screen: The division of the screen into parts which can show the viewer several images at the same time. This can be used in order to show different view points and show the excitement or terror of characters. 

Stock shot: Footage already available and used for another purpose than the one for which it was originally filmed.

Cutaway/cutaway shot (CA):  Usually used to show the passing of time.

Cut: Sudden change of shot from one character or location to another 
Jump cut: Switch from one scene to another usually used to great a more dramatic and significant effect.
Fade: A fade the picture slowly appears from or disappears to a blank screen.

Wipe: The effect of an image being wiped in order to change scene.
