In this step you'll learn about editing techniques such as cutaways, eyeline matches, crosscutting, and intellectual montages. Cutaways are used to indicate what's on a character's mind, while eyeline matches are used to connect the dots between what a character sees, thinks, or feels. Crosscutting is when an editor cuts between two or more scenes happening in different locations, usually at the same time. Finally, an intellectual montage is when seemingly unrelated images are put together to create a certain feeling or idea.
