Film Crew Slang

Clean Entrance- Actors walk into the camera's view from outside the frame in the beginning of a shot.
Clean Exit- Actors walk out of the camera frame at the end of a shot.
Clean Entrance/Exit provide editing options in the editing room. They also can re-enforce screen direction to the audience and make it more "real". Many new filmmakers ignore this simple tip and end up locking themselves into a limited series of cuts in the edit. This limited cut can confuse/disorient the audience or simply be regarded as poor filmmaking technique.
