Answer:

Here's the terms, Tilt - A vertical camera move on an axis, up or downNot to be used interchangeably with panIt is not really correct to say “pan up” or “pan down,” when you really mean tiltPan - A horizontal camera move on an axis, from right to left or left to rightIn a pan the camera is turning on an axis rather than across space, as in a dolly shotNot to be confused with Tilt, technically it is not correct to say “pan up” or “pan down,” when you really mean tiltJump Cut - Basically, two similar shots cut together with a jump in continuity, camera position or time Parallel Editing - The technique of intercutting between two simultaneous stories wipe a transition between shots in which a line passes across the screen, eliminating the first shot as it goes and replacing it with the next one sound bridge at the beginning of a scene, the sound from the previous scene carries over briefly before the sound from the new scene beginsOr conversly, at the end of a scene, the sound from the next scene is heard, leading into that scene roll the rotation of camera around the the axis that runs from the lens to the subjectThis is not common because its effect usually disorients the viewer crane shot a shot with a change in framing accomplished by having the camera on the crane and moving through the air in any direction tracking shot a mobile framing that travels through space forward, backward, or laterallyIt could move on tracks or dolly, or hand-heldAlso called traveling shot.
