Different Camera Techniques

Cross Cutting

Cross Cutting is a series of two scenes together, continuously alternating. This can create suspense and is often used in thrillers or horrors; something with a climax.




Jump Cutting

Jump cutting is when a scene continues rolling as a normal scene would, but something jumps, be it the character of the setting. It's used to confuse it's audience and conveys something about the film such as confusion between characters or their emotions.

Montage

A montage is a series of lips cut togetherto create a sequence but not a continous image. It can be used to convey something for the audience. It basically condenses a lot of emotion and clips to create feeling within the clip. A perfect example of this is the scene in Rocky IV, when Rocky and Drago are training for their fight and it shows their progress and endurance over a period of time.
