Continuity editing is the main type/style of editing in cinema and television. The purpose of continuity editing is to smooth over the inherent discontinuity of the editing process and to establish a logical coherence between shots.
180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
Matching on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action.
Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
