Ron,
Good point about how home camcorder use can influence what we see more of as
effects.
That might make jump cuts more palatable as people see them all the time in
their home videos, true.
I remember the slow fade often signaling a passage of time, but in the use
of several jump cuts over the course
of say a family arguing over dinner, it does let you know material was
removed to shorten the scene, and that was
the point and correct effect in that case. So I guess everything has it's
time and place. :)
Thanks for the reply, nice web site also.
AnthonyR.
