"Eden Lake" (2008) JUMP CUTS (First five minutes).

In Eden Lake we can see four jump cuts in the intro to the movie, the jump cuts are in the motorway when the car is moving a long. The four jump cuts demonstrate the time that is passing along, the car is never arriving the place that wants to go. The time is passing and they continue riding, finally they arrive to the place that they want to go, this intro starts in the city and it finish out of the city, apparently with rude people, this is the start of a great movie.

A Bout de Souffle (Godard, 1960) JUMP CUTS.

The jump cuts in this movie are really rare. They have a strange way to do it, because a character is speaking to another character and the shot passes to another, that the character is doing another thing. Is a spatial jump cut with the camera that is slightly moved, the relationship to one shot with another is really rare.
