Is there a technical term for this visual trope, where a shot

cut-out

You mean a cut-in?

cut-off

Cut-in?

I always found it fun how in King Gainer, after Tomino has used this technique liberally throughout his shows, only Overmen pilots get to have cockpit cut-ins. Whenever anybody in a Silhouette Engine mook mecha wants to talk, they have to stick their head out of the top of their mecha to appear on camera. There's maybe one in-cockpit shot of Sara in the series.

A cut-in is different, IIRC. It's when you cut to a close-up on a specific object in a shot, then zoom in.

Yes, a cut-in in film refers to that, but the term used for this technique is also cut-in. Unless somebody has an alternative. I've never heard of them being called anything else.

It's called effort.

Google it and see what it gives.

Does anyone know which anime used it first?

I always assumed it was as old as the genre, or at least the first show with an enclosed cockpit, whichever that was
