A Jump Cut is an immediate transaction from one scene to the other. This film editing technique combines two sequential shots on the same subject which are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. Generally, if the camera position changes less than 30 degrees, the difference between the two shots will not be substantial enough, and the viewer will experience the edit as a jump in the position of the subject that is jarring, and draws attention to it. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way.
