Without this little movie, our cinemas would still run on cuts used in the '50s. It also woke up Hollywood to take new paths. Although one of the points of the film is to do everything in pretty much the opposite way it would be done in Hollywood continuity, which includes this. The jump cuts weren't used to any specific artistic purpose, however they were done mainly to get rid of scenes that made the film too long.
The film most widely credited with popularizing jump cuts is Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (French title: A bout de souffle).Films that use them in this way include GoodFellas and Bug. Jump cuts are also used to disorient viewers, often representing paranoia.Jump cuts were used on purpose in the film Capote during the hanging scene.Happens in the second episode of The Flowers of Evil when Kasuga runs away from Nakamura after she reveals she knows he stole Saeki's gym uniform.
In Excel♡Saga, during a episode centralized on baseball, we jump from the start of the game to the ninth inning after one scene transition, to which Nabeshin responds "Holy Jumpcuts!".Nothing happened during that strange stray shot of the scenery. And there was also one bizarre scene, when they showed Thrust, suddenly jump cut to a totally random and pointless shot of the same background (but no Thrust), then back to the same image as before, with Thrust magically reappearing and continuing his thing. Transformers: Armada used this, but not intentionally - the animation was simply rushed, so often they used the same background, even if the "camera" switched focus to another character.
