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.

Fascinating!

It's something that most of us have obviously noticed over the years,
but having it explained so clearly is excellent.
