Definição e Significado de "axial cut"

What is an "axial cut"?

An axial cut is an editing technique where the camera angle stays the same while transitioning from one shot to another. This method involves changing the shots by maintaining the same visual perspective and axis, which helps ensure a smooth and seamless transition between scenes. By keeping the camera position consistent, axial cuts preserve the spatial relationship and continuity, making the switch between shots less jarring and more coherent for the viewer.
