Suspense is the key to keeping a person engaged at a distance in a film and it’s story. It keeps you in your seat anticipating the moment of something next. It brings you in to a whole new level of entertainment. And, the only effective technique that can deliver that kind of suspenseful action to the audience is, jump cuts. This technique isn’t used by many directors because they are afraid that everything should be combined neatly together. Without having a little fun with the usage of jump cuts.
What’s wrong with having fun on a movie? With the usage of known important scenes that take you out of focus, but make you more engaged to a playful, far away level. Nothing, right? Well, that’s exactly what I think, too. You can’t be so attached to having everything being perfect to the period. You have to let lose of the image of your films. You have to be able to change up the mood by adding the shaking of a camera. The use of long shots with the camera slowly tilting and change the scene out of no where to a total random shot. Jump cuts gives you the freedom to express the story of your film without having to be perfect in detail back to back. It allows you to takes your imagination to another level, of putting images together. But, still being able to deliver a film with impact, up to the end.
A film that can a story filled with pictures. Is a film that can be successful, but a film that consists of suspense and random descriptions within a film. That’s a film that brings attention and questions. But, if combined you create a film with an essence of a distraction of the real world. Proving that life isn’t fair and you don’t always have freedom. Bringing the audience more engaged at a distance, to the over structure of the film.
