Parallel editing

Parallel editng

Parallel editing is taking two scenes that happen at the same time and placing them together in one timeline. This shows two acts happening simultaneously.
These shots will be placed side by side and will be switching back and forth.

Inception is a good example of parallel editing as it has multiple layers of dreams but all of the action is happening at the same time.
