Jump Cutting
A jump cut keeps the same angle but the shot can change, giving a jumping and awkward effect.
Jump cuts are used for:
- Rebellion; French filmmakers wanted to break from the traditional editing.
- Pace; to add speed to the events.
- Psychological; to establish the strange way the human mind works.
This clip shows jump cuts of a man in a mirror cutting his hair and trimming his beard to slightly speed up the ace of the action. This creates suspension as time slightly goes quicker from when he entered the bathroom with a completely different appearance. Therefore, the jump cuts made this scene more distressing given what the build up leads to.
