  • Lars Von Trier utilizes the jump cut as aesthetic to adhere the overall emotional context of his then (dogme influenced) gritty lo-res DV stories. 

  • @HoShiiJii

    most go by the "30 degree rule". as soon as two consecutive shots differ 30 degrees or less the viewer will perceive this sequence as a jump cut; the focus is drawn to the same subject as the previous shot.

    Although we can agree on the angle and subject having to remain the same

  • @jocen3 Same subject, different time, so the subject appears to "jump" positions. Some argue it is only a jump cut if the angle, AND the subject stay the same, some say only the subject needs to stay the same.

    It's a vague artistic definition for something that can't be empirically defined.

    I'm more in the "Angle and subject remaining the same"camp myself.

  • uhm, i dont get it...
