English term or phrase: smash cut
Definition from New York Film Academy:
An abrupt cut from one scene to another without a smooth transition.

Example sentence(s):
  • The impact of a smash cut is strengthened when it juxtaposes two scenes with wildly different tones. For instance, horror films often use the jarring nature of a smash cut to transition from a gruesome in-progress murder scene to a happy or peaceful moment. MasterClass
  • If you’ve got a loud scene that immediately goes to a quiet scene or vice versa, this is where you’d use the smash cut. You want to use it when you’re transitioning between two completely different scenes, emotions, or narratives and you need to make an abrupt transition. Pond5 blog
  • Suddenly, there is a visual and an audio smash cut to introduce Samuel L. Jackson’s character: the visual smash cut is created by going from the girl dancing, with music background, to a close up of a clock. Introduction to Film & Media Studies

نقلة باهرة - قَطْع تبديدي


Definition from own experience or research:
نقلة باهرة أو قطْع تبديدي من مشهد إلى آخر يحتوي على حالة مساوية من التشويق ولكن معاكسة له في الأثر، على سبيل المثال من مقطع نرى فيه أحدهم يوجه صفعة إلى آخر فتنتقل اللقطة بقطع مفاجئ إلى شخص يصفع نفسه لقتل ذبابة حطت على وجهه، فتكون اللقطة باهرة في التحول ومفاجئة والقطع بين اللقطتين يبدد الأثر المتوقع من اللقطة الأولى إلى اللقطة الثانية

Example sentence(s):
  • نقلة مفاجئة من مقطع إلى آخر مساوٍ في التشويق ومعاكس في الأثر - - خبرة عملية سابقة
