Jump cut

In film editing, a jump cut is a cut[?] between two similar scenes, so that the objects in them appear to "jump" from one position to another.

Jump cuts are generally either a technical flaw, or done for an artistic special effect -- most normal cuts in film editing occur between dissimilar scenes, or significantly different views of the same scene, to avoid the appearance of a jump.

An common example of a jump cut is if a few seconds are edited out of an interview shot with a single camera.
