• Just cut - object in some position but a closer shot
• Graphic match - the image of one object fades/dissolves/cuts into another similar

Alfred Hitchcock's - Psycho

In the film, when the girl is getting murdered, the shots cut quickly. The pace of the cutting creates excitement and tension. It also helps to not show the viewers that the knife isn't actually stabbing into her.

Graphic match - The camera focus' on the plughole and then fades into her eyeball.

The camera then turns and focus' on the money she stole.
