heart pause 

What happens when you see the one you love. Your blood stops flowing and you get all hot inside. Then your heart beats rapidly as though you've run a race.

When I saw Dave approaching the raindrop splashed doorway, i felt my heart pause.

Snyder Pause 

A visual element found in Zack Snyder's Graphic-Novel-to-Film Movies wherein, to increase the visual brutality of an impact during a fight, everything slows down to a near-crawl and speeds up quickly just before the impact. Similar to Bullet-Time of the 'Matrix' Trilogy Fame.

"Dude, when we were sparring the other day, I got so focused everything almost Snyder Paused!"
