The Jump Cut

The Digital Leaders have been jump cutting like crazy for the past few weeks with some excellent results.

For those who don't know, a 'jump cut' is when you film something, then pause the recording to remove, add or change something in the scene (leaving everything else in exactly the same position), then continue recording.

It allows you to create an effect similar to a magic trick IF you can hold the camera steady enough and direct your actors to stay firmly in position.

We had a great time trying jump cuts out and the students would like for you to see some of their efforts.  Enjoy!
