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

对比剪辑


Definition from Zhihu:
在一个场景中为了审美,叙述或情感的目的而突然切割到另一个场景。SMASH CUT通常有出乎意料的戏剧效果。比如你可以在恐怖片中使用它,从一个可怕的时刻突然切换到一个平静的时刻,从而从一个极端到另一个极端产生一个震撼的效果。

Example sentence(s):
  • 对比剪辑,是通过将内容等有反差的镜头场景进行有效组接,从而达到相互映衬、强化效果的作用。 - Sina  

Explanation:
PS:对于SMASH CUT,国内主流资料译成跳跃剪接,感觉不太严谨,对比剪辑的核心是造成反差。
