A variant of cutting on action is a cut in which the subject exits the frame in the first shot and then enters the frame in the subsequent shot. The entrance in the second shot must match the Screen Direction and motive rhythm of the exit in the first shot. Some films, like Alain Resnais 's '' Last Year At Marienbad '' play with this technique to connect scenes playing in different places together. For example, there is a shot of a large hall in which somebody turns her head, then the film cuts to the same person finishing the head turn, but standing in a completely different room. In this case, the edit creates an atmosphere where the spatial and temporal relationship between scenes become blurred. SEE ALSO SOURCES |
