Montage: A montage sequence consists of a series of short shots that are edited into a sequence to condense narrative. It is usually used to advance the story as a whole (often to suggest the passage of time), rather than to create symbolic meaning.
Example Montage Hot Fuzz Opening Sequence:
Graphic Match: A graphic match is a cut in film editing between either two different objects or two different spaces, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots symbolically.
Example Graphic Match A Space Odyssey:
Elliptical Editing: Elliptical editing is a type of editing that cuts unnecessary actions from a sequence. This means the sequence is shorter than real time and so doesn't last as long. This can be a positive because if a scene last (for example) a few hours it would cut it down to only a few minutes.
Example Elliptical Editing Batman Begins
