Crosscutting

Crosscutting - This is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions but this is not always the case.



At 43:40 in this clip, crosscutting is used when the people talk about where the female and male characters are and the shot cuts to them in a bar drinking.
