Jump, match, and cuts on an action

Just so there's no confusion on the matter -

Match cut: Joining two different-sized shots of the same scene (like a medium shot and a close-up) to create the illusion of continuity.
Action match cut: Type of match cut made on a movement. The movement “flows” across the cut, maintaining direction and speed.
Jump cut: Usually signals that time has elapsed or something has been omitted from scene.

A shot transition that omits parts of an event, as if had ellipses (…) in plot
· Also a cut with too-similar framing
· Or with straight angle but different people (they look like they morph!)
It’s what you would do if you had no training in editing and just cut pieces of a story together
· It usually looks like a mistake!
· This is what iTunes does when it summarizes a game into 10 min!
· In the sixties, there was a wave of it
To avoid
· Zoom instead of cut
· Make the framing more different
· Use the match techniques

And most importantly, a good example of what a match - or invisible - cut actually looks like when it is working.

Please be sure to watch, it is short.
