Advantages of cross editing

Cross-editing, a editing technique, is very easy to arouse suspense, create a tense and intense atmosphere, and strengthen the sharpness of contradictions and conflicts, which is a powerful means to mobilize the audience's emotions.

In a cross scene, the characters are interrelated-perhaps many of them interact very frequently, such as the police approaching the robbers or the flames spreading to the trapped people. This is usually the climax of a movie. Crossing closely links characters with story development, which usually intensifies the rhythm of drama and deepens contradictions and conflicts.

Cross-editing can also be used as a narrative method, showing multiple timelines at the same time, telling different stories in the same time and space, and promoting the development of movies.

The whole film "Dunkirk" won the Best Editing Award of 20 18 Oscar, and it was narrated in the way of three-line cross-editing. The film tells three stories of land, sea and air at the same time, but the time of the three stories is obviously different (more than a week on land, more than a day at sea and more than an hour in the air). The three-line intersection tells the story of the British retreat in this war.
