Jump cut

Jump cut- Jump cut is a form of editing of having a cut in one shot, that is a similar frame within the footage, without moving the camera out of its postion, For an example; here's a scene from the french film "Breathless" which was directed by Jean-Luc Godard, who was one of french wave directors that invented jump cuts.


In this scene, a lot of jump cuts especially when they are driving the car. According to goodard he used  jump cuts to make the action move little faster and also he wanted to make audience viewed the film in a weird complicated way .
