Cutaway

Cutaway:

cutaway shots are the contionusly filmed action shot. for example they are used in soaps to show the different characther in the scene. This is used for examples like Eastenders - Kat & Alfie in the pub than in the cafe with Phil and Ben Mitchell than back to the pub . It used within a routine which is editited to one shot to another / a scence to another.Almost it is the most common uses in dramatic films, to adjust the pace of the main action, to conceal the deletion of some unwanted part of the main shot, or to allow the joining of parts of two versions of that shot. For example, a scene may be improved by cutting a few frames out of an actor's pause. Cutaways are also used often in older horror films in place of special effects. For example, a shot of a zombie getting its head cut off may, for instance, start with a view of an axe being swung through the air, followed by a close-up of the actor swinging it, then followed by a cut back to the now severed head

This is an example of a cataway shots as its cutting away from the shot to make a designed shot.
