Fast cutting is a film editing technique which refers to several consecutive shots of a brief duration (e.g. 3 seconds or less). 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'' (1960). More recent examples include the Can-can scene in ''Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!'' (2001). The film ''Mind Game'' makes extensive use of fast cutting to convey hundreds of short scenes in the space of fifteen minutes. In ''Run Lola Run'' 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. In various moments in the ''Saw'' movies, fast cutting is used frequently during trap scenes, which represent their frantic struggle to escape the trap. ==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'' and ''Requiem for a Dream'' to portray drug use.() 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'' and Paul Thomas Anderson's ''Boogie Nights''. Guy Ritchie also used the technique in ''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'') uses the technique for comedic effect. Joseph Gordon-Levitt used the technique extensively in ''Don Jon'' (2013) to portray the main character's habits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fast cutting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
