See "L-cut." J-cut is also known as "split edit."

Jukebox musical is a filmed musical (drama, or animation, etc.) that uses pre-existing popular songs (usually from a variety of artistic sources) as its song score. Jukebox musical songs are often re-imagined with different song styles. Also known as a "karaoke musical."

Jump cut is an abrupt, disorienting, transitional device in the middle of a continuous shot in which the action is noticeably advanced in time or cut between two similar scenes, either done accidentally (a technical flaw or the result of bad editing) or purposefully (to create a discontinuity for artistic effect). Also, contrast with an "ellipsis" and "match cut."

Juvenile is a role of a young, teenaged male character. The female counterpart is known as an "ingenue."

Juxtaposition in film is the contiguous positioning of either two images, characters, objects, or two scenes in sequence to compare and contrast them, or establish a relationship between them. See also "sequence," "symmetry," and "composition."
