Smash cut

Abrupt cut to a contrasting scene. A quiet scene of a person asleep cuts with no warning straight to an intense one; the volume meter jumps at the same moment.

How the movement works

For comedy or shock, showing in an instant the gap between calm and chaos or between expectation and reality.

  1. 01Join: a straight cut at 2.4 s (0 frames); no transition effect, the contrast does the work
  2. 02Outgoing shot (0–2.4 s): fixed camera (height 1.2 m, focal length 330 px); a person lying down 7 m away, three "z" letters float up and fade; volume meter at about 0–1 of 8 bars (0.08±0.04)
  3. 03Incoming shot (2.4–4.2 s): focal length 2.6× (858 px) for a tight framing, rolled -0.12 rad (about -7°); the person has both arms raised, with 18 radial blue lines
  4. 04Shake in the incoming shot: roll ±0.03 rad (about 6 cycles per second) and yaw ±0.006 rad (about 8 per second); volume meter at 0.85±0.15, nearly full
  5. 05Return: cross-fade back to the quiet shot over the last 0.5 s (quadratic ease-in-out)
  6. 06Top-right readout shows "♪ 静か" (quiet) → "♪ 大音量" (loud)
