“Cheat” - When the camera is set up for a second shot
at a different angle it is possible to move things around a little to improve
the new composition, the difference in perspective and angle of the two shots
hiding the fact that things are not exactly in the same place. Both
actors and furniture on the set can be cheated. The term is often used as
cheating something “into” a shot or “out of” a shot, as in telling an actor
“We’re going to cheat you in a little,” and having them stand a little to one
side so more of them is in the shot.
