The movement from one shot to another is called transition. The straight cut "invisible" is most common type of transition. One shot moves to the next without catching the viewers attention, they help retain reality they don't break the suspension or disbelief.
Dissolves
Dissolves, fading one shot off the screen while one is fading in. The audience will be able to see both of the shots at mid-point in dissolve. This is used if the director wants to show a connection between two characters, places or objects.
Fades
A gradual darkening or lightening of an image until becomes black or white, one shot will fade until you can see black and white. This effect is primarily used to indicate end of a particular section within the narrative, also it can show the passing of time.
Wipes
When one image is wiped off a screen from another, thy can be pushed left or right. It is more common for the image to be pushed off from left side as it is show as act of time moving on. Signal a movement between two locations that are experiencing the same time.
Graphic Match
Is a cut in film editing, which is between two different objects, two different compositions and two different places. In which two different shots they graphically match, this helps to establish a strong continuity of action also linking the two shots metaphorically.
Following the Action
This is when there is movement, and the camera will following the action that it taking place. In the movie Mr & Mrs Smith the camera rotates around the gun battle to show more of the action instead of standing at one point of view.
Multiple points of view
This is where the actors are showing each side of a particular view. One actor will show what he/she is seeing and then it will change to the second character so they can do the same.
Shot Variation
This is when a shot is uninterrupted by editing the and the shot distance changes, the shot can be static or motion it just has to be continuous. For example the shot begins as long as wide but ends up as a lose up. In the movie Matrix it begins in a long shot, the camera moves in a circular motion and ends in a mid shot.
Manipulation of Diegetic Time and Space
This is when a film uses effects to show an age or time change, either a person or an object shown getting older or younger. This can be shown even using colour or desaturation of an image to show a different point in time. Many films use this technique but one modern one is
This is the short film i made demonstrating all the effects.
