Shot Reverse Shot
This is an editing technique that is used for scenes to create the illusion that a there is a normal conversation taking place. The camera alternates between over the shoulder shots that show a character in a scene taking.
Match On Action
This technique creates continuity by changing the perspective of the camera during the scene so that said scene flows. The audience's attention is also diverted on the amount of cutting,making it not as obvious.
Steady use of Camera
The cameraman is holding the camera as steady as possible, usually with type of stabilization that helps them keep the camera still. This shows continuity throughout each scene and creates the illusion of it being a real life situation. As opposed to a small video camera that might move a lot in things like documentaries.
The 180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule states that the camera/cameras stay on one side of an imaginary line. With the line drawn perpendicular to camera's viewpoint, it once again shows continuity in the scene. This is so that it doesn't confuse the audience on where for example the characters in the scene are standing.
