Swedish term or phrase: sittsynk
Again relating to filming.


"sittsynk" which comes up "seating sync" (which of course makes no sense) appears to be an abbrev. for something.

Here's the context:
En sittsynk med kort skärpedjup ...
Sittsynk fungerar som inslussning in i mötet...
Görs som sittsynk för att ha backup ...

Explanation:
I write "sync" sometimes for "synk" (which can be synchronisation...anything from an interview to just some recorded imagery, but mostly the former). But I am guessing when it comes to the "sitt" part.

of course it could be a sitting interview, however this idea of 'at the site,' or 'in place' appears to be what is meant here.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Anna Herbst: "In situ" is "på plats" in Swedish - nothing to do with "sitta". An "in-situ interview" is usually used to gather data - not a context for film slang. http://valtechux.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/in-situ-interviews...

sit-down interview


Explanation:
or sit-down sync
"Synk" would in this case bear the meaning of a short interview - a sync, "sitt" is simply for sitting down. These brief interview clips could perhaps be used as match cuts to tie it in with your previous question.
