What is a 'jump cut' in reality TV editing?

Richard Hall (Reality TV Producer) gives expert video advice on: How are 'reaction shots' used in reality TV editing?; What is a 'story arc'? and more...

A jump cut is usually in an interview, when you are just putting together the sentence and you're pulling up some of the "uuh"s and "and"s or a clause in the middle. You just slap it together without editing anything so the face will jump, because it was in a different position from the end point to the start point of where you came in. Generally speaking, you cover the jump cuts with B-roll.
