Jump Cuts, Over-The-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point Of View Shots

Jump Cuts: A jump cut is a transition between two shots which appears to "jump" due to the way the shots are framed in relation to each other. Jump cuts are usually caused by framing which is quite similar.

Over-The-Shoulder Shot:
In film or video, an over the shoulder shot (also over shoulder, OS, OTS, or third-person shot) is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image of whatever (or whomever) the camera is pointing toward. This type of shot is very common when two characters are having a discussion and will usually follow an establishing shot which helps the audience place the characters in their setting. It is an example of a camera angle.

Point of View (POV):
A point of view shot (also known as POV shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction (see shot reverse shot). The technique of POV is one of the foundations of film editing.

Continuity and Shot Reverse Shot

Continuity

An important part of filming our short film in continuity. Continuity is when you switch from shot to shot without changing the environment etc…

If such a mistake is made when filming, it can make the film look weird and poorly made, you can only fix such a mistake by re-filming the whole scene again.

Shot reverse shot

Shot reverse shot is a technique mainly used in a dialogue scene, but continuity is very important in these types of shots.

if something changes when flipping from shoulder to shoulder, it can make the whole scene look really bad and unnatural.

This type of shot will be very useful in our short film as ¾ of the film is two people talking.

this is our risk assesment, it covers some obvious risks that could happen while filming, it also covers some not well known risks

Risk assessment 

Hazard	Risk	Action
Chair legs	Tripping over and causing injury	Push chairs under table
lighting	Lights may make room hot and uncomfortable, touching lights is very dangerous	Wear appropriate clothing, if the room has a lot of natural light, then turn artificial lights off, no
Smocking (probable no smocking)	Fire hazard	No smoking
Noise	People etc... May disrupted our recording	Film were we wont get disrupted
mirrors	If there are any mirrors, they may fall and cause injury	Carful of mirrors, may need to take them down briefly while recording
Batteries	If kept in a cold environment for to long, they will run out	Make the most of them, bring spares just incase
Steps	Could trip and fall causing injury	Watch your footing, carful were you step, watch for equipment on the floor
Using camera	Carful of environment when using camera	Watch your environment when using camera, mainly if panning
