Montaggio incrociato


Definition from Linguaggio cinematografico teoria e tecn:
MONTAGGIO INCROCIATO (cross-cutting): collegamento di due scene
simultanee, ma ambientate in luoghi diversi (es: forte attaccato
e arrivo dei rinforzi).

Example sentence(s):
  • Il montaggio incrociato è uno schema che vede uno o più personaggi interagire nello stesso contesto ambientale, ma su linee d'azione distinte. E' costituito da inquadrature che si alternano continuamente da una linea d'azione all'altra con un ritmo sempre più sostenuto, sino ad un culmine di tensione, cui segue una breve distensione. - Cinescuola
