Still trying to understand "cuts".
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2018 6:08 pm
I'm still having a hard time figuring out exactly what a "cut" is in animation. To me, it seems like each time there's a perspective change, that change marks the end of one cut, and the start of the next. When I try to count cuts based on what production art I either have or have seen, I often find my counting doesn't jive.
I just don't think I understand cuts properly. They sometimes seem like they might end in odd places.
I've got an example video, from Episode 2 of Azumanga Daioh. I count it as two cuts, but I'm not sure where the boundary between them is. Does the first cut end as soon as the perspective shifts from Osaka by herself, or does the first cut continue until Osaka stops talking?

Incidentally, the girl on the far right when perspective switches, I'm not sure but I think that's Chihiro. She seems like a sweet kid, but she isn't shown all that much much.
