Parallel editing

Parallel editing (also known as cross cutting) is when editing is used to establish a relationship between two important things/people. An important part of cross cutting is that making sure the two subjects are happening at the same time. We will see one of the subjects and then we will see the other, it will cut between the two quickly as they slowly come together and meet.



This clip is a good example of parallel editing/cross cutting.
