Cutaways are used in films to cutaway from the main action to add related material or showing another object in the area of where action is happening. Editors use this to add more action to that part if the scene and make it more interesting. As shown in the video below which describes how Cut-in and Cutaways work.

Conventions and Techniques- Transitions JP
Tranisitons is when any two video shots are joined together. The most common and simple is 'cut' is one video clip instantly changing to the next shot. The next is crossfade or dissolve where one shot gradually fades to the next. As shown in the video below which shows how transitions are used in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Conventions and Techniques- Splicing JW
A film splicer is a machine that is used to physically attach two pieces of photographic film together to make one. The advantages of a film splicer is that it allows you to remove film frames or take one section of a film and place it somewhere else in the movie prior to editing on a computer.
Conventions and Techniques- 180o Rule JW
The 180 degree rule is a camera technique in film. This rule is performed successfully by keeping the camera on one side of both actors and not allowing it to go past into the other half of what would be a circle. The over the shoulder shot is an example of the most a camera man can position his camera without breaking the 180 degree rule. The camera man will imagine a line going through both characters for example when they are talking.

Conventions and Techniques- Parrallel Editing JW
Parallel editing is the technique of alternating two or more scenes that happen simultaneously but in different locations. Parallel editing can be used to confuse the viewer, the editor would do this by showing the viewer two different scenes which could go together but in fact are completely different scenes, below is an example of this.

Conventions and Techniques- Jump-Cutting JW
A jump-cut is a cut in film editing which shows two different shots of the same subject. It’s as if the camera ‘jumps’ to a different shot of the subject this is why this technique is known as a jump-cut. Jump cuts are considered a violation of continuity editing as they jump to a different shot in a discontinuous way. Jump-cutting also emphasizes editing which is another reason why it is considered a violation of continuity editing as the idea of continuity editing is to make editing discreet.
