Hip hop montage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hip hop montage is a editing technique 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. [1] It was used earlier in Paul Anderson's Boogie Nights. The technique is derived from the hip hop culture of the 1990s and jump cuts first pioneered in the French new wave. Guy Ritchie also used the technique in Snatch to portray transcontinental travel.
