Take - A take is a 'try.' It refers to every time you attempt a shot from the same angle.
Cross-cutting/Parallel-editing - These terms refer to simulateneous occurences in films. For instance, when you see a woman running down the street, and then it cuts to a man sitting at a restaurant eating alone. He looks at his watch. Then we cut back to the woman. We get the sense that these two events are happening simultaneously. Creating this illusion is called cross-cutting in the editing room.
Transitions - Transitions refer to what happens in between two shots. How an editor 'transitions' from one shot to the next.
Pan - A pan refers to a camera movement. It is when the camera scans an object or space on a horizontal plane.
Tilt - A tilt refers to a vertical camera movement. When it camera looks up, or down.
Cut - 1) used to refer to a 'draft' of the film. 2) used to indicate the end of a shot.
Dissolve - A dissolve is a transition used in editing. It is when the editor takes two shots and the end of the first one blends into the beginning of the next. The first one dissolves into the next. This is often used in film to indicate a large passage of time between the two shots.
Cutting Room - The cutting room refers to the editing room. The place where the editor cuts together the film
.
Rough Cut - A rough cut is the editors first cut of the footage. It can be compared to a 'rough draft' of an essay.
Rough Cut - A rough cut is the editors first cut of the footage. It can be compared to a 'rough draft' of an essay.
Fine Cut - A fine cut is usually the editors cleanest and smoothes cut. It is the final cut. Like "final draft."
Asynchronous - In a film, it seems like we are constantly hearing the natural sound from the scene. Sometimes the filmmakers record the natural sound of the scene, but often they will shoot the scene without any sound and add the sounds one would hear in that scene later. This is asynchronous sound. Sound recorded on set is called Synchronous sound. Or also known as sync-sound.
