“Cut” – When the Director is ready to stop recording the scene she yells “Cut” and this signals the crew to stop recording or to stop doing whatever their job is in relation to recording the shot. “Cut” can be yelled mid-scene if the Director is not happy about how the recording is going.
Midsommar wowed audiences when it hit theaters in 2019, but the director's cut is the movie's best version. The director's cut adds 30 minutes of footage to the already lengthy film. The additional scenes give extra meat to the character motivations, which ultimately benefits Midsommar in the long run.
“Unrated” means the cut of the movie has not been sent through any ratings board at all, and thus no rating has been given. No cut's or edits have been made either. It is technically a modern word for Uncensored, especially regarding scenes of sex, violence, gore and/or horror.
Conveniently, it's called a "clapperboard" (also known as: clapper, clapboard, slate, slate board, slapperboard, sync slate, time slate, sticks, board, and sound marker.). Usually the 2nd AC (2nd assistant camera) is the person in charge of clapper duties (amongst other things).
A "Director's Cut" brings the film from its theatrical 162 minutes, to 186 minutes. Scenes include expanded action sequences, and additional exposition. The "Ultimate Cut" brings the film from its theatrical 162 minutes, to a whopping 215 minutes. The Director's Cut is 20 minutes longer than the Theatrical Version.
Do director's cuts always succeed in enhancing the experience of watching a particular movie? Not every director's cut is superior to the theatrical version.

A scene originally cut, but re-inserted for the Director's Cut, shows Lambert slapping Ripley, in retaliation for Ripley's refusal to let her, Dallas, and Kane back on the ship. According to Sir Ridley Scott and Veronica Cartwright, every time she went to slap Sigourney Weaver, Sigourney would shy away.
Scott told THR why he didn't direct the sequel. “Interestingly enough, I was never asked to do the sequel. Maybe because I was such a tough guy when I was doing it, they didn't want me back. But I was also in the habit of not wanting to do a sequel then either.
