check your jump cut Charley, you are correct but you need a bit more, the jump cut creates a 'jump' in the continuity and sometimes jumps in action quite literally. from say someone shootong someone to then running away without seeing the gun put away. 'Breathless' by Jean-Luc Godard uses lots... otherswise very good!!
