Line 8:
Each cut usually lasts only a second or two, sometimes less; the exact timing can vary slightly from cut to cut. In some cases involving dialog, just the actor's last few words may be repeated rather than the whole line. This can help make it explicit to the viewer that they are seeing the same event from a different viewpoint, i.e. "rewinding" the scene, rather than the event portrayed actually happening multiple times.
 
May be used in conjunction with [[Dizzy Cam]] or [[Jittercam]], but these are techniques of shooting, whereas '''Repeat Cut''' is a technique of editing. [[Rule of Three|Three]] cuts seems to be the favorite, but it's also not uncommon to see the technique [[Parody Satire, Parody, Pastiche|parodied]] by doing a [[Overly Long Gag|ridiculously large]] number of cuts, often with a [[Lampshade Hanging|running commentary]] from the cast. For [[Rule of Funny|super extra hilarity]], the characters may even [[Medium Awareness|interact with the cuts]]. When something completely ordinary gets a Repeat Cut, it's [[What Do You Mean It'sMundane NotMade Awesome?]]
 
For other examples of stretching out an action sequence, see [[Bullet Time]]. May overlap with [[Broken Record]].

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[FLCL]]'' deserves a mention here for using just about every camera technique there is possible in the span of six episodes.
* ''[[Eureka Seven]]'' shows a triple take of [[WhatMundane Do You Mean It's NotMade Awesome?|Holland hugging Talho]].
* The beginning of ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]'' shows three different shots from different angles when Honoka and Nagisa first pass each other in the first episode.
* Used in ''[[Death Note]]''. In the first episode, when Light is testing the Death Note for its authenticity, he stops an attempted rape by writing the would-be rapist's name in his Death Note with 'Traffic Accident' written as the cause of death. Soon after, a truck wheels in from nowhere and plows into the man. The death is shown three times, each from a different angle.
** Deliciously parodied in the first episode of ''School Note'', which repeats the crash a dozen times or so, set to dramatic music.
** I just counted. It repeats ''twenty-five times.''
** Also used when Light hugs Misa, down to replaying the same gasp in all three shots, evidently underscoring just ''how'' [[Revealing Hug|critically consequential this hug is]]... [[What Do You Mean It'sMundane NotMade Awesome?|Oror something]].
** Somewhat parodied when Aizawa snaps due to prolonged contact with Misa.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', with Ichigo getting slammed by a lightning bolt through the shoulder by the [[Aloof Big Brother]].
