Jump cutting - LB

Jump cuts Although Technically breaking the rules of continuity editing can be sometimes used purposefully for an intended effect. a Jump cut is when multiple shots do not switch seamlessly making it appear as though the character on screen has jumped abruptly. if not used purposefully a jump cut could ruin what is being edited by breaking the rules of De emhpasizing the visibility of the edit. it is the job of the editor to make the edit seem as invisible as possible. used purposefully they can be used to draw audiences attention to a particular message within a film or to add pace and suspension.

This film Called breathless uses a lot of jump cuts in this scene i think it may possible to show the pace of the journey as fast and to emhpasize his points as when he is listing what is nice about the girl there is a jump cut making it really stand out
