Straight Cut.

This editing technique is where two shots, generally of different settings, are quickly and directly cut in sequence. This can be effectively used to highlight a separate aspect of the plot in a different scene, for example where Johnny and Lorna are tied up in Savage's castle, and they 'need a miracle' we then straight cut to a shot of Bough popping his head up from the 'poo tube'. (8.22 - 8.26 of clip) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYxQSWYl13E&feature=related
This effect that this type of editing of shots has, in this example, is comedic effect, linking to the genre and unexpected impact to the hero and princess' dilemma.
