Hollywood Montage - a "montage sequence" is a short segment in a film in which narrative information is presented in a condensed fashion.
This is an example of a montage from the film Karate Kid. This is because the series of clips put together in this video show the whole competition in only 3 muinites
These are a series of montages from Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. They show his training as he progresses through the months before his fight in 5 separate montages.
Continuity
Continuity –The viewer should not notice the cuts, and shots should flow together naturally. Hence, the sequence of shots should appear to be continuous.
This is a clip from Casino Royal - James Bond. This is an example of Continuity Editing. It has seamless cuts and each clip folows on from the next as if it was shot all at once.
This is a clip fron Damien Walters Parcour 2011 video. It is a great example of Continuity Editing as the audience see him jumping out of a carpark and then after the cut see him start to apear on the other side
Parallel
Cross Cutting/parallel editing - Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occurring in different places, usually simultaneously.
This clip is from The Bourne Ultimatum. This is an example of Parallel editing as it cuts between 3 different people at the same time and then cuts to looking at the cameras that are also moving in the same time window and finally it cuts to a man watching the security cameras in a separate room at the same time. there are many different shots of different things happening and they are all happening at the same time.
This example of Parallel editing comes from James Bond - Quantum of Solace. It cuts between the car chase and the police preparing for persuit, both of which happening at the same time.
Disolve
A Dissolve - A transition between two shots during which the first image gradually disappears while the second image gradually appears.
This is another example of disolve editing from Doctor Who. the cheering happy people start to disapear as his face fades into the picture.
