Eden Lake, jump cut analysis

In the opening of Eden Lake we can se that, after the boyfriend looks up to his girlfriend, the cupple are travelling to somewhere. When they are in the road or highway the camera shows the journey in the point of view of the man. The cuts have the same position of the camera and the same background music but it shows the change in lighting of the day, the passing of the hours, the different cars driving along. This effect creates the meaning of the hours passing through and the suspense of where are they going.

A Bout of Souffle – Jump cut

The clip of A Bout de Souffle (Godard, 1960) has unussual jump cut in which it shows the time passing by filming the same shot with a different background, as they are riding a car, and the girl carring other objects like a mirror, but the camera stills in the same position and the music it's also the same.
