blog question: What are L & J cuts? How do can they be used in your editing? What do they communicate to the audience? How could you incorporate them into your future editing?

A J-cut is when the sound of the next shot starts while the previous frame is still being played. A L-cut is when the frame shot changes but the audio is continued. L-cuts are oftenly used in timeline purposes and help the audience understand what one is talking about by providing a visual to what the actor/actress is saying. J-cuts are oftenly used to introduce the audience to where the setting is and provides a smoother transition. In the example clip provided by the vimeo blog, you hear the astronauts voice before you see the actual frame he is in.
