Cutaway shot
– interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else.
-Unspoken words- Cutaways are used here to emphasize the true stakes of tightness in individual scenes. Once this is identified the the crowd will be able to conclude and see the true meaning of the film
-Time control- Cutaways are us to show true detail of the scene while cutting away from the actual time spent on that particular scene.
-“guide the audience from subject to subject, and on occasion, to place the audience in the position of the actors” (Gessner 89).
-Fast way of showing outside information to the crowd whilst shortening distractions to the overall shooting of the film

-If this way of shooting didnt exist many famous films wouldn’t exist, due to the relevance of cutting in almost every film. Many movies use this method but dont truly emphasize it, the destruction of this method would be detrimental to all films
