Fast cutting
Fast cutting is a film editing technique which refers to several consecutive shots of a brief duration. It can be used to convey a lot of information very quickly, or to imply either energy or chaos. Fast cutting is also frequently used when shooting dialogue between two or more characters, changing the viewer's perspective to either focus on the reaction of another character's dialog, or to bring to attention the non-verbal actions of the speaking character. One famous example of fast cutting is the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho. More recent examples include the Can-can scene in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!. The film Mind Game makes extensive use of fast cutting to convey hundreds of short scenes in the space of fifteen minutes. In Lola Rennt fast cutting is used to quickly tell stories about minor characters to show how the casual actions of the protagonists have profound impact on what happens to them.
