Editing

Montage

A technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are sequenced to condense space, time, and information.

In Depth

Famous for 'training sequences', montages allow directors to show a long process (like falling in love or getting in shape) in a short amount of screen time.

Example

"The 'Rocky' training sequence is the quintessential movie montage."
