Hi Guys,

After all these years of knowing how unprofessional jump cuts can make a
production seem, I see them purposely
being used in movies now to simulate the passage of time. Not sure i like
it.

The first time I seen it was in a low budget film (can't remember name) and
a friend argued with me that it was bad editing.
I insisted no matter how bad an editor was, he would not allow 4 jump cuts
in one scene and had to be using it as an effect.

Then in a major motion picture I seen recently, "Prime" starring Meryl
Streep again it was used during a dinner scene to signify the passage of
time.

Have we run out of eye pleasing effects that shocking unpleasing effects
will now become mainstream?
