FAQ About The Role of Film Editing in Narrative Storytelling
How do editors use jump cuts in storytelling?
Jump cuts are used to create an abrupt transition between moments in time, often within the same scene. This technique can break continuity to convey a sense of time passing quickly or to depict disorientation and frenetic energy. Filmmakers use jump cuts to reflect a character's psychological state, hasten storytelling, or highlight specific details and actions without maintaining uninterrupted flow.
