What Is A Cutaway Shot

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrIwfImLXOA

A cutaway is also known as a band-aid because it’s a tidy way to patch a cut. It can take many different forms, but its function is always to provide the editor with options in the cutting room. A cutaway can manipulate tension, convey humor or cast doubt or ambiguity on a scene, among other things. In a way, the director can speak directly to the audience with a band-aid. Whether they are winking at us mischievously, as in An American Werewolf in London, or making us question the story we are given like in Brokeback Mountain. A cutaway in the command of a skilled director has infinite possible uses.","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":607,"styleRunExtensions":{"styleRunColorMapExtension":{"colorMap":[{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_DARK","value":4294967295},{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_LIGHT","value":4279440147}]}},"fontFamilyName":"Roboto"}]},"headerRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":607,"headerMapping":"ATTRIBUTED_STRING_HEADER_MAPPING_UNSPECIFIED"}]}},{"itemSectionRenderer":{"contents":[{"continuationItemRenderer":{"trigger":"CONTINUATION_TRIGGER_ON_ITEM_SHOWN","continuationEndpoint":{"clickTrackingParams":"COIBELsvGAIiEwinmuTAuciJAxVt40IFHboXFNY=","commandMetadata":{"webCommandMetadata":{"sendPost":true,"apiUrl":"/youtubei/v1/next"}},"continuationCommand":{"token":"Eg0SC1dySXdmSW1MWE9BGAYyJSIRIgtXckl3ZkltTFhPQTAAeAJCEGNvbW1lbnRzLXNlY3Rpb24%3D","request":"CONTINUATION_REQUEST_TYPE_WATCH_NEXT"}}}}],"trackingParams":"COIBELsvGAIiEwinmuTAuciJAxVt40IFHboXFNY=","sectionIdentifier":"comment-item-section","targetId":"comments-section"}}],"trackingParams":"COEBELovIhMIp5rkwLnIiQMVbeNCBR26FxTW"}},"secondaryResults":{"secondaryResults":{"results":[{"lockupViewModel":{"contentImage":{"collectionThumbnailViewModel":{"primaryThumbnail":{"thumbnailViewModel":{"image":{"sources":[{"url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lznsxm8KdD0/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEwCKgBEF5IWvKriqkDIwgBFQAAiEIYAfABAfgB1AaAAuADigIMCAAQARhlIEwoQzAP rs=AOn4CLDvdu4dLN4Q9TuNjP-0XUo8uoRUJw","width":168,"height":94},{"url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lznsxm8KdD0/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwExCNACELwBSFryq4qpAyMIARUAAIhCGAHwAQH4AdQGgALgA4oCDAgAEAEYZSBMKEMwDw== rs=AOn4CLA8sfc4PGoXxe7J0inyPPl3XMWFkQ","width":336,"height":188}]},"overlays":[{"thumbnailOverlayBadgeViewModel":{"thumbnailBadges":[{"thumbnailBadgeViewModel":{"icon":{"sources":[{"clientResource":{"imageName":"PLAYLISTS"}}]},"text":"14 videos","badgeStyle":"THUMBNAIL_OVERLAY_BADGE_STYLE_DEFAULT","backgroundColor":{"lightTheme":3352097,"darkTheme":3352097}}}],"position":"THUMBNAIL_OVERLAY_BADGE_POSITION_BOTTOM_END"}},{"thumbnailHoverOverlayViewModel":{"icon":{"sources":[{"clientResource":{"imageName":"PLAY_ALL"}}]},"text":{"content":"Play all","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":8}]},"style":"THUMBNAIL_HOVER_OVERLAY_STYLE_COVER"}}],"backgroundColor":{"lightTheme":4140842,"darkTheme":4140842}}},"stackColor":{"lightTheme":10057579,"darkTheme":9666166}}},"metadata":{"lockupMetadataViewModel":{"title":{"content":"Film Lessons"},"metadata":{"contentMetadataViewModel":{"metadataRows":[{"metadataParts":[{"text":{"content":"Tim M.
