  6. SPLIT EDITS Summary • J-cuts introduce sound early – before we see the connected picture • L–cutsextend the sound of the current shot over the next image • Both ‘smooth’ the sound transition - giving a greater sense of connection and reality! Real life is full of J and L audio transitions… • ‘J’ - How often do we hear someone - or something - before we see them or it? • ‘L’ - When did a sound you hear ever instantly reduce to zero as you moved away from it?

  7. INTERVIEWwith a cutawayAudio from cutaway extends into next shot - and fades out… VIDEO TRACKS Cutaway video Interviewee talking head - video AUDIO TRACKS Interviewee talking head - audio Audio fades to zero over shot of interviewee Cutaway audio Cutaway audio extends approx. 3 secs into interviewee video, fading out gradually to zero dB

  8. INTERVIEW CUTAWAYS Summary • The sound track of a cutaway is normally lower in volume than the ‘interviewee’ audio – do not drown out the voice of the interviewee! • Extending the ‘cutaway audio’ a few seconds into the next shot (L-cut) avoids a sharp ‘cut’ in the sound – more ‘natural’ to the ear of the audience • Cutaway audio is sometimes brought in early (J-cut) - artistic decision by director and/or editor – and extended into the next shot (L-cut)
