Jump Cuts

Jump cuts were created in  1896 by Melies  he was filming a bus coming out of a tunnel and his camera film jammed when it started filming again it filmed a horse cart going by and when he watched the film a jump cut was created making the bus look like it transformed into the horse cart, he used this in is magical shows to show people disappearing. the purpose of using a jump cut is to cover up the mistakes or to make film science fiction also it is breaking continuity.  

 

Jump cuts were usually used to create magically effects durine the 1800s but now in the present days jump cuts are been used to break contuinty and therefore can fall under montage techniques. for example Royal Tenebaums in this scene they uses jump cut of the man shaving and making himself up.
