Editing Fast cutting (section)

==Hip hop montage==
A ''hip hop montage'' is a subset of fast cutting used in [[film]] to portray a complex action through a rapid series of simple actions in [[fast motion]], accompanied by [[sound effects]]. The technique was first given its name by [[Darren Aronofsky]], who used the technique in his films ''[[Pi (film)|Pi]]'' and ''Requiem for a Dream'' to portray drug use. According to the director's commentary of ''[[Requiem for a Dream]],'' the hip hop montage is used in film as a sample is used in hip hop, with a few moments of film or video, respectively, repeated throughout the work for effect.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://people.carleton.edu:80/~tonksn/aronofsky/edit.html|title=Editing|last=Snyder|first=Tim|website=Carleton College|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090216070743/http://people.carleton.edu/~tonksn/aronofsky/edit.html|archive-date=2009-02-16|url-status=dead}}</ref> The technique is derived from the [[hip hop]] culture of the 1990s and [[jump cuts]] first pioneered in the [[French new wave]].

It was used earlier in [[Bob Fosse]]'s ''[[All That Jazz (film)|All That Jazz]]'' and [[Paul Thomas Anderson]]'s ''[[Boogie Nights]]''. [[Guy Ritchie]] also used the technique in ''[[Snatch (film)|Snatch]]'' to portray transcontinental travel. The work of [[Edgar Wright]], most notably in his collaboration with [[Simon Pegg]] (''[[Spaced]]'', ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'', ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', and ''[[The World's End (film)|The World's End]]'') uses the technique for comedic effect.

[[Joseph Gordon-Levitt]] used the technique extensively in ''[[Don Jon]]'' (2013) to portray the main character's habits.
