What are parallel editing and cross editing?

Often in different time and space or at different places at the same time, two or more plot lines are juxtaposed, described separately and unified in a complete structure.

2. Cross-cutting:

It refers to the rapid and frequent cross-editing of two or more plot lines that occur in different spaces at the same time. We often see chase and thrilling scenes in thrillers, horror films and war films, and generally use cross-editing to make it more dramatic.

Extended data

Montage originally refers to the relationship between images. After the appearance of audio movies and color movies, the application of montage has a broader world in images and sounds (human voice, acoustics, music), sounds and sounds, colors and colors, light and shadow, etc.

When different lens groups are connected together, it often produces meanings that are not available when each lens exists alone. For example, the scene of Chaplin driving workers into the factory gate is connected with the scene of being driven by sheep; Pudovkin connected the scene of melting glaciers in spring with the scene of workers' demonstrations, which made the original scene take on a new meaning.

Eisenstein believes that when opposite shots are connected together, the effect is "not the sum of two numbers, but the product of two numbers".
