A couple of things intrugue me about TV production:

2. When cutting from one scene (in a drama) do they often cut to the new

but I can't appreciate it.

It's a video/film editing technique called a "J cut". See he

I believe on traditional film, the sound signal is displaced from
the image, as it needs to run smoothly whilst the image jerks
through the gate.

Is it the case that a well-chosen film splice could have just the
effect described?

I think it's mainly an artistic technique that's been around since the
first sound movies. Some history he

I guess there could have been a technical reason as well, but I've
never heard of that explanation.
