List and briefly define attributes of the Jump Cut.
Your Answer:
A jump cut is a cut made between two different scenes that are not continuous, which creates a
gap within the film. An example of a jump cut would be being in present time and instead of
continuing the film in the future the next shot is from the past. This type of editing can either
throw off the audience with confusion, suspense or discontinuity. We see many jump cuts in the
film Memento as we are jumping from the past, present and future.

Vogler’s Article on the Hero’s Journey examines the importance of Joseph Campbell’s book “
The
Hero With A Thousand Faces
,” in storytelling within film and television; along with dissecting
the archetypes that have now been inspired by Campbell. The article discusses how Campbell
tends to be a tool or building block for many storytellers even subconsciously. Vogler’s Article
even displays on page 6, a side by side comparison of Campbell and another story only
supporting its inspiration. An example would be how Campbell believes that for a hero’s journey
the said hero must be confronted with a call for adventure. We see something like this in 3:10 to
Yuma when Dan is hired to deliver Wade for money to pay off his debt or in Memento when he
realizes that he has short term memory loss. Campbell also states how some heroes tend to reject
this call for adventure in which we see in Casablanca when Rick refuses to help his once lover..
