A shot to allow the editor to "cut away" from the action for a moment. This could be an object in question, a person's reaction to an event, a hand motion, or even a bit of sceenery that helps emphasize the mood of the moment.

Cut-Aways often aid with transitions and eliminate awkward cuts. They can allow the editor to speed up, or slow down, a scene as it unfolds.
