                                In post-production, the process of film editing and video editing, a cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another. It is synonymous with the term edit, though "edit" can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, dissolve and wipe serve as the three primary transitions. The term refers to the physical action of cutting film or videotape, but also to a similar edit performed in software; it has also become associated with the resulting visual "break". Types of Cuts : 1. J-cut and  L-cut 2. A Match cut 3. A jump cut 4. Cutaway 5. A cross-cut/Parallel editing 6. Cutting on action •An L-cut and the J-Cut : A J-cut and L-cut are film editing techniques that involve the use of overlapping audio in order to create a smooth transition between two shots.

What is DI?  DI stands for Digital Intermediate, which is a post-production process where the original film or video footage is scanned and converted into a high-resolution digital format. This allows for color correction, visual effects, and other adjustments to be made to the final image before output to a film print or digital distribution format. For example, a movie shot on 35mm film might undergo a DI process in which the film is scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to adjust the overall look and feel of the film. Special effects such as compositing and visual enhancements can also be added. The final output is then used to create the film prints or digital distribution master copies. An example of a film that underwent a DI process is the movie "The Martian" directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2015. The film was shot on 35mm film, but during the DI process, the footage was scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to create the desired look and feel
