“A good cut is invisible”, discuss.

As these cuts tend to jar the audience psychologically, it is often considered a mistake in continuity editing. In Lar’c en Ciel’s MTV “Honey”, shots of the band performing the song is juxtaposed with a woman crawling towards a stream of honey, as well as a golden snake advancing forward. : THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL”, the adventure of ET in the refrigerator and Elliott at school are bound together by cutting between the two scenes, thus linking ET condition due to the beer with Elliott at school, who also becomes "drunk". This aims to create a mood, an abstract feeling or an estoric meaning by joining shots of two contrasting scenes, two visually similar images or two similar spaces.

Parallel cutting occurs in the realism genre, where two events happening in two different places at the same time are intercut to build tension and expectations, as well as to suggest an outcome. Flash frames comprise of a shot of only a frame or a few frames duration, sometimes a single frame, which can just barely be perceived by the audience.

Juxtapositions include morbid cuts of an eye being sliced open and a moon being cut into half by a moving cloud, as well as a close-up of a woman’s armpit hair juxtaposed with ants swarming around a hole in a man's palm. Ultimately, the quality of a cut rests not simply on how obvious or invisible it is to the audience, but the purpose it is meant to achieve and whether it succeeds in serving that purpose. However, the most important rule that lies behind all the rest of the guidelines is the fact that cuts should be motivated, either visually through action or the visual line, or aurally through dialogue or music.
