catch

A common term in independent film referring to cutting in a manner that is so visually jarring that audiences will potentially be taken aback or taken "out of the experience". You will "catch" them.

A visual edit causing viewers to realise they are indeed watching a film. Your audience is free falling through the fantasy, you don't want to "catch" them because then they will come out of it.
Some french foreign films from the mid 1900's, the time-jumps in "momento"

Many scenes that cut to new environments with different lighting or have an outgoing action that is not met with a match cut.

"Man that last scene really caught me, kind of ruined it"

"We don't want to catch our viewers, smooth that out"

The Catcher in her Eye

When you're getting a BJ, and you yell "Stop 'Holden' my Nutsack" and you then bust one in her eye. You then gently wipe off her face with an old copy of The Catcher in the Rye.
I never realized anything good came out of reading. But my old Catcher in the Rye book came in handy when I needed to clean her face after a quickie behind the White Castle. "The Catcher in her Eye" is now a favorite of ours.

catcher in the rye

Catcher in the Rye was written by J. D. Salinger. It's a novel about a red hat wearing candyass who thinks all adults are phonies; failing to see the essential poseur that is so him! For some reason older Baby Boomers get all tear-eyed about this book, thinking it's the one that spoke for their generation which, unfortunately, we hear too much from already.
