B-roll- Mainly used in television news, the purpose of the B roll is similar to the purpose of the cutaway. This secondary footage disguises the elimination of unwanted content. For example: stammering, uncomfortable pauses, or unintentional movement by the principles or extras.
Cutaway- A type of pick-up shot that is used as a buffer between shots in order to add interest or information or to help with the editing process. These shots are taken from different angles than the original shoot and are then edited into the final cut.
Keyframe- Captures the main actions of a movement- usually the beginning, middle, and the end. Animation storyboards are always depicted as key frames.
Pick-up- Also called an insert and in television news called reax, which stands for reaction shot. These relatively minor shots are recorded after the fact to supplement previously shot footage.
Reshoot- When a scene has to be done all over again. Usually due to a mistake or in my experience when there is a scene where the actor breaks character or does something that makes everyone laugh, especially if it the sound guy.
Reverse shot- A transposition of a camera move, which provides a point off view that is 180 degrees apart from the original shot.
Stock [footage]- Also known as archive, file, or library. Sometimes cheaper than shooting new footage, stock footage consists of previously recorded and often archived shots of common events used to add interest or information or used to disguise the elimination of unwanted content.
'tweener- Slang for "in-betweener." The 'tweenr is the animator who draws the transitional frames "in between" the key frames.
