A director would choose to non - continuity editing instead of continuity, to play with people's minds. A few directors have used non -continuity editing to create interesting effects.
French New Wave filmmakers such as Jean luc Goddard pushed the boundaries of editing Techniques during the late 1950s and throughout the 1960's. Jean Luc Goddard directed the film A bout de souffle ( Breathless) he used the filming technique Jump Cut. The editing technique drew attention because it didn't conform to the norms in Hollywood. The use of jump cut often reminded the audience they were still watching a film just by overusing the technique. By the over use of jump cuts or inserting material that isn't related to any of the narrative.
Another way of manipulating the audience is breaking the 180 degree rule. The camera should always stay on one side of the imaginary line, directors like Stanley Kubrick went against this rule to play with the viewers minds. The shining movie is a thriller so going against this rule in this genre is very applicable, to manipulate the viewers minds. You can see in the clip below how the rule is broken they
Furthermore, Gary Ross also went against the 180 degree in the hunger games. The camera should always stay on one side of the imaginary line, Ross changed the camera completely we see the room from a whole different direction. So we see everything.
