TB - Effective Use of the Jump Cut

Recently we have decided to impose a few jump cut shots into our final piece , brought about by the fact that some shots seemed to long for the audience to watch without much happening on screen. The applied jump shots have really helped our opening gain speed , adding to the feeling of efficient changing through scenes. Before these jump cuts were applied , some shots didn't work as well as we had hoped and , as I mentioned , some continuous shots were too long for the audience to be staring at. This was because they would start to look at objects within the frame that weren't necessarily of key importance in the plot.

In my next post I will try to upload some stills of where in our piece we used some jump cutting.
