The insertion of a shot in a picture sequence is known as: 

(A) Cut in

(B) Cut away

(C) Cut out

(D) cut over

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation: –

A cut-in is a shot inserted to zoom in on a detail or object within a scene, providing closer visual context. For example, if a character is writing a letter, a cut-in might show the pen or paper in detail. It enhances the viewer’s understanding of the scene without disrupting the sequence.

On the other hand:

• Cut away refers to cutting to a different scene or object unrelated to the main action.
• Cut out and Cut over are not commonly used terms in video or film editing.

This confirms that (A) Cut in is the correct and appropriate term.
