cutaway
A cutaway is a cinematic technique, often used in films and television, where the camera cuts to a different shot, often offering a different perspective or additional information, before returning to the initial scene. It can also refer to a type of illustration or model that shows the inner workings of something (like a machine), by "cutting away" or removing a portion of its exterior. In fashion, a cutaway is a design where a part of the clothing has been cut out to expose a part of the body.

Cutaway
In film and video, a cutaway shot is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut. The cutaway shot does not necessarily contribute any dramatic content of its own, but is used to help the editor assemble a longer sequence. For this reason, editors choose cutaway shots related to the main action, such as another action or object in the same location. For example, if the main shot is of a man walking down an alley, possible cutaways may include a shot of a cat on a nearby dumpster or a shot of a person watching from a window overhead. Similarly, a cutaway scene is the interruption of a scene with the insertion of another scene, generally unrelated or only peripherally related to the original scene. The interruption is usually quick, and is usually, although not always, ended by a return to the original scene. The effect is of commentary to the original scene, frequently comic in nature.
