Cutaway

Cutaway One popular editing technique is known as a cutaway, primarily because it cuts away from the main action for a short time. A cutaway shot is not necessarily the same as a flashback or flash forward, in which the timeline of the film is moved backwards or forwards. A typical cutaway shot usually takes place at the same time as the main action sequence, showing the audience other plot points occurring simultaneously. example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHpKw5_SV6I This is shown at 0.45 to 0.16. It creates a feeling of fear, leaving the audience questioning what is going to happen next and prolongs the feeling of suspense.
