Who knows a little bit about camera shots/editing/words for type of shot

[Cole_train]

I can't remember the specific name for this type of shot I'd studied in film studies... I'm sure it begins with the letter 'E'? Basically referring to similarities in a shot. E.G. You see a picture of this girl, standing next to the girl is a cow. There are similarities... Same can be done in video editing when changing scenes to show similarities. What's the name given? Anyone know? Please help.

You waited a whole 9 minutes to bump your thread? This isn't instant chat.

Similarities between what? The girl and the cow? Another shot?

[Cole_train]

Ok, sorry. my bad. And like when there are similarities in a shot. So say there's a picture of a girl, with a cow next to her, symbolising that the girl IS a cow, what's the name of that shot type? It's also done in film scenes, like the camera shows a shot of a girl... Then the next scene/cut shot it films a cow, symbolising the girl is a cow. You know? I'm sure the shot type is called ex... something or other :S
