Cutaway

      A cut away is where the shot is focuses on the shot that is cut away from the main focus of the scene. Cutaway shots are intended to show what is happening around the main subject. So most scenes would start with a wide shot and then cutaway shots will emerge  to create context and meaning depending on what the situation is in the film. So in some scenes there would be a cutway from a main event to characters maybe witnessing the event and this is done to show their ecpressions and from this we can tell how they fell about it.
