"A jump cut is a transition between two shots which appears to jump due to the way the shots are framed in relation to each other. Jump cuts are usually caused by framing which is quite similar"
Within our music video, we decided to explore using jump cuts. Initially, we found that the sequences were too long and untidy so we shortened the length of the sequences. The main reason for us choosing to include jump cuts was to highlight the tediousness of the relationship for the female character. I think this is most obvious in a quick sequence of jump cuts of the couple sitting on a train. In doing so, the repetitive nature of some shot composition is emphasised, demonstrating explicitly our creative intention. Using jump cuts firmly positions the target audience of teens and young adults in the point of view of the female protagonist.
