To heighten the impact of the cut, a disparity in the type of scene on either side of the cut is often present, going from a fast-paced frenzied scene to a tranquil one, or going from a pleasant scene to a tense one, for example.
To make the cut more impactful, filmmakers often use contrasting scenes on either side of it, such as shifting from a hectic and energetic scene to a peaceful one, or from a cheerful scene to a tense one.
