I am shooting my first real short in October with the bulk of the filming on the 3rd October. The issue is now the script and shot lists are all ready and prepared, I am concerned about jump cuts. I have deliberately put some jump cuts in there for effect at four different points.
Part of me wants a 'jagged' look to this under four minute short and I thought that jump cuts might be the way to go.
However, I have trawled through the advice on this forum and the majority of advice appears to be against using jump cuts. I wanted to throw this out there and just get an understanding about this. Does anyone out there use jump cuts for effect? I think they could look great if the timing and rhythm work well or is this just the voice of inexperience?
