A cutaway is a shot that's usually of something other than the current action. It could be a different subject (eg. this cat when the main subject is its owner), a close up of a different part of the subject (eg. the subject's hands), or just about anything else.


The cutaway is used as a "buffer" between shots (to help the editing process), or to add interest/information.
