Jump Cut
Jump Cuts are used to disorientate or confuse the viewer. This is the one time an editor wants to draw attention to a cut. The audience has to notice it to achieve the desired effect. The shot will not flow in sequence, instead something random may appear.
An example would be a crowd disturbance with the viewer placed in the middle of the trouble. The angles may shift in every shot or the line of action may be broken. It may well be that the editor is asked to achieve this effect. How do you think he might do this?
The Jump Cut can also be used in horror films. This is usually where the ghost/monster appears to jump from one position to a closer position. The aim is make the audience jump. This could simply be a case of filming the ghost/monster at different positions in the same shot. Then in the editing suite the editor simply cuts out the footage where the ghost/monster changes position.
