Cutaways

A cutaway is a technique used to fix jump cuts or problems in an edit. it is when when you cut from the Primary or A roll action to some Secondary or B roll action. an example of this is if a there is a shot of someone talking then the next shot of them talking was shot at a different time and it is from a slightly different angle it causes a jump cut that needs to be fixed so the editor takes some B roll footage that has like a reaction shot from another character and cuts to that then it cuts to the A roll footage so that people don't notice the jump in the angle.
