    I had a very basic grasp of the jump cut, but this video nailed the concept down for me. My favorite example is in Spider-Man when Peter is trying his powers. I never realized how that was a jump cut until now. The amount of effort and passion that goes into these videos is commendable. Thank you, StudioBinder!

    Don't know how you got Paul Gregory to do these but his ability to subtly evoke that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop fits the writing perfectly and keeps the series entertaining as well as educational.

    I remember watching behind the scenes from a movie, can't remember which one but the editor said back in the days before computers, editors would have to manually cut films with scissors which made it hard for jump cuts, also a couple of movies I've watched from the early 70' and 80's have had some unintentional jump cuts which are mistakes because you can tell some shots we're inserted or don't match, this was apparent in A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 when the kids are on the school bus and Freddie's hand goes through one of the characters, there is a jump cut that wasn't supposed to be in there.

    This is an amazing Video, and although a kind of a different Medium, many Music Videos use Jumpcuts to keep the beat going and add the visual power to the rhythm when done correctly. I, however, only noticed due to the very clear distinction and fantastic explanations in the Video. Thank you very much for creating this!

  • @OldDemonTooth
    @OldDemonTooth 2 года назад +1

    I would argue some of these are not jump cuts, but skip cuts, such as the LA Confidential, and The Departed examples. Jumps remove an amount of time perceivable to the audience on an intellectual level letting them understand time has been removed, while a skip cut bypasses awareness and relies on the audience NOT catching that time was shortened. Same tool used in the same manner to achieve WILDLY different results. Jump cuts are surface level, skip cuts are more subtle.

    Very nice, informative piece! Three progressively closer axial cuts are AKA an 'edited zoom.' A very good early example is the first time you see the monster up and around in James Whale's Frankenstein, (1931.) karloff comes through a door, and it cuts from wide to med to CU on his dead face. Also, Looney Tunes Director Bob Clampett also did a really good one in 1946's "The Great Piggybank Robbery." There's a scene where Daffy Duck panics. They go from a front shot to a side shot, but he immediately turn towards the camera-- and they actually switch animators. It really gives him a manic kind of energy.
