Dynamic Cutting : Sophisticated cutting can create dramatic emphasis, convey modes or abstract ideas that are not readily expressed in more direct terms. The ideas themselves may not be implicit in the component shots. Cause-effect relationship themselves are often interpreted. Examples Shot of broken window, cut to small boy crying ( A lost ball ? Punished after breaking the window ? ) Intercut shots symbolically suggesting 'Spring', 'Progress','Terror', etc. The Cut ( fig 6.1 ) The cut is the simplest transition. It is dynamic, instantly associating two situations. Sudden change has a more powerful audience impact than a gradual one, and here lies the cut's strength. Cutting, like all production techniques, should be purposeful. An unmotivated cut interrupts continuity and can create false relationships between shots. Cutting is not akin to repositioning our eyes as we glance around a scene, for we move our eyes with the full knowledge of our surroundings and has always remained correctly oriented. On the screen, we know only what the camera shows us; although guesses or previous knowledge may fill out the environment in our minds. ( fig 6.2 ) Cutting jumps attention between viewpoints or locations so that the viewer has to continually relocate and interpret each new shot.
