Contrast Cuts
CONTRAST CUT
Cutting back and forth between two contrasting actions so that one action strengthens audience response to the other. Shots of a starving man contrasted with shots of a glutton, for example, will increase the impact of both shots, making the former seem more pathetic and the latter more disgusting. Contrast cuts combine 2 opposing or opposite images; hence the "contrast" name in the description. These are also referred to as SMASH CUTs.
