- EDITING - the activity of selecting the scenes to be shown and putting them together to create a film.

- CUT - one image is suddenly replaced by another, without a visible transition. 

OVERLAPPING EDIT - cuts that repeat part or all of an action, thus expanding its viewing time and plot duration.

CROSSCUTTING - swiftly cutting backwards and forwards between more than one scene.

MONTAGE - style of editing involving rapid cutting so that one image is juxtaposed with another or one scene quickly dissolves into the next.
