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.
