Eyeline match: a type of
editing that maintains the eyeline or level when cutting from a character to
what the character sees. The effect of
the edit is to create a sense that what the camera sees is what the character
sees. It puts us in the position of the
character and helps us feel empathy for them.
Graphic match: a cut from one shot to another that looks
visually the same (possibly linked by a similar shape, a similar colour
etc. They are there to show us a clear
link between two scenes. Often this is
making a comment on the issue. For
example, a young girl playing with a red doll cut together using a graphic
match with a woman holding a baby dressed in red. This might suggest that the young girl has
grown up into the woman. Or it might
emphasise the gender stereotype of women looking after babies.
Superimpose: the
appearance of writing/symbols or images on top of an image so that both are
visible at once, increasing the amount of information the viewer has in one
shot.
