I am now part way through marking your Trial exams and, although we are beginning to see really accurate use of more sophisticated editing terms like montage and crosscutting, many of you are forgetting the bread-and-butter terms like 'eyeline match' (where a character looks towards something and we cut to a shot of what it is) or the continuity editing term 'match on action' where an action cuts to a shot of the next logical action (something is thrown, we see where it lands; characters go upstairs, they are in an upstairs room; a character touches the door handle, the door opens viewed from the other side etc, etc)
