Cross-cutting (cross-cut) is a technique of cutting back and forth between different lines of action. It occurs at two or more different locations but takes place at the same time. This often creates suspense and increases the pace within a sequence, as generally, the viewer expects a resolution of both events in one space. A related technique is parallel editing.
