Jump Cuts in Eden Lake &

A jump cut, is a shot in which "jumps" showing the passing of time, ect. These jump shots jump through time but they stay in the same place meaning that the camera doesnt move but the mise-en-scene changes through very little things which represent the changes of time.

Eden Lake first 5 min: In Eden Lake, the jump cuts in the beggining of the film; are there to represent the passing of time in a simple form. In the first 5 minutes, there are 4 jump cuts durring their trip from the city to there destination. we can see how these jump cuts show were they come from to a world that for them is disorientated and full of confusion. These jump shots also show how the time is passing by through the shots that go from sunset to night.
