VideoLane.com has posted a new item, ' Cut-in and Cutaway Shot Definition and Example ' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwbwxUX2hY 2 useful techniques to make your video look more professional the cut-in shot and the cutaway shot. Simple Definition: A cut-in shot is a close-up shot of something visible in the main scene. A cutaway shot is a shot AWAY from the main scene. Example: Watch the video for a demonstration of cut-in and cutaway shots. Videography Tip: When shooting a video capture as many cut-in and cutaway shots as you can.
