You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Abrupt transition from one film sequence to another))
((More citations needed|date=January 2024))

In the [[post-production]] process of [[film editing]] and [[video editing]], a '''cut''' is an abrupt, but usually trivial [[film transition]] from one sequence to another.<ref>((cite web |title=Cuts and Transitions |url=https://scotlandonscreen.org.uk/moving-image-education/cuts-and-transitions |website=Scotland on Screen |publisher=Scotland on Screen |access-date=5 January 2024))</ref> It is synonymous with the term ''edit'', though "edit" can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, [[dissolve (film)|dissolve]], and [[wipe (transition)|wipe]] serve as the three primary transitions. The term refers to the physical action of cutting film or videotape, but also refers to a similar edit performed in software; it has also become associated with the resulting visual "break".

==History==
Due to the short length of early [[film stock]], [[Film splicer|splicing]] was necessary to join together segments into long-form. [[Actuality films|Actuality]] [[director (film)|director]]s spliced together reels prior to [[Shot (film)|shooting]] to record for longer periods of time. [[Narrative]] directors, on the other hand, preferred shooting for shorter lengths, editing together shot footage. In either case, film was cut (and subsequently joining the cut segments) to remove excess footage, focusing attention on significant elements.

The cut has retained its purpose to this day, with alternative uses arising to achieve special effects.

==Verbal command==
To signal the end of media capture, this command is issued primarily by the director, to cast and crew. (It is very unusual for others to yell "cut" without an exceptional reason; mistakes are reshot during the same take, if possible.) In contrast, a "roll" command signals the beginning of shooting.

In between these commands and the actual footage to be captured, various marking elements (the [[clapperboard|slate]]), preparatory actions ([[extra (actor)|extra]]s, effects, or other costly elements), and the director's "Action!" command are also recorded. These are edited out to effect a seamless presentation.

==Proper cut==
In practice, the cut does not break the [[suspension of disbelief]] necessary to keep an audience engaged to a narrative or program. The cut represents a continuous transition in [[Setting (fiction)|setting]] and [[time]]—in turn, the dissolve and wipe respectively identify changes in time and setting. In many cases, cuts are also used in place of dissolves or wipes for minor changes, or to edit away insignificant details to maintain [[pace (narrative)|pace]]. Usage of the cut in this manner conforms to the goals of [[continuity editing]], which deemphasizes the presence of the film crew.

Cuts serve as transitions between camera angles, such a wide [[establishing shot]] and a [[medium shot]]. Footage of a moving character may be captured from multiple angles rather than a [[tracking shot]], either for aesthetic reasons or to lessen the risk of damaging a camera while in motion.

Cuts are often used in sections of [[dialogue]] so that the director may employ [[close-up]]s without unnecessary (and visually disturbing) movement of the camera. Such cuts usually follow the [[180-degree rule]], where the camera angles are kept on the same side of an imaginary border drawn between the subjects.

On a broadcast television [[multiple-camera setup]], cuts are performed at the [[vision mixer]] by the '''[[Technical director#Television|technical director]]''' by simply selecting a different source. On single camera or film setups, cuts are performed by the '''editor''' using either a [[linear video editing|linear]] or [[non-linear editing system]]. Film may still be cut and spliced, but today's editing systems have made such "destructive" edits unnecessary. Instead, edit points identify where the system duplicates source footage onto the [[Master recording|master reel]].

==Variations==
*An '''[[L-cut]]''' is when video and audio are edited asynchronously. For example, the sound of approaching cars in an interior shot alerts the viewer that the next scene will most likely involve traffic or take place outside.
*A '''[[jump cut]]''' is a cut, within the setting and time frame of a scene, where continuity is visibly broken. Though a mistake in many cases, it can also be used for dramatic effect. It is not to be confused with a cut used where a [[dissolve (film)|dissolve]] or [[wipe (transition)|wipe]] would be (perhaps more) appropriate.
*A '''[[Cutaway (filmmaking)|cutaway]]''' is when footage extraneous to a scene is overlaid, visually interrupting the narrative but perhaps displaying some important action taking place simultaneously, or an action referenced in dialogue. Audio cutaways are much less common, as they do not achieve the same effect.
*A '''[[Cross-cutting|cross cut]]''' is similar to a cut used in dialogue, but where the subjects are not necessarily in the same setting (or even time frame). It establishes the same intimate relation as a dialogue cut.
*A '''[[match cut]]''', like the cross cut, links together two scenes that visually or otherwise resemble each other.
*'''[[Cutting on action]]''' refers to a cut that links together two compositionally similar scenes. For example, the imminent pulling of a gun trigger may, prior to the gunshot, cut to a [[Champagne (wine)|champagne]] cork firing off.
