Jump Cuts, Over-The-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point Of View Shots

Jump Cuts: A jump cut is a transition between multiple shots which appears to "jump". this is because the way the shots have been framed in correlation. Jump cuts are usually caused by framing, which can be quite similar.
Example of a jump cut.


Over-The-Shoulder Shot:
In film or video, an over the shoulder shot Or and OTS  is a shot of someone taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person. The back of the shoulder and head of this person is used to frame the image that thecamera  will be pointing towards  

Point of View
A point of view shot or a pov  is a short film scene that shows what the subject is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually done  by being positioned between a shot of a subject  looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction which is simlair to a reverse shot.
