Editing

Continuity –The viewer should not notice the cuts, and shots should flow together naturally. Hence, the sequence of shots should appear to be continuous.

this scene from bourne ultimatum is a clear example of continuity, especially as we are shown him jumping from a window ledge into another room smoothly.

Hollywood Montage - a "montage sequence" is a short segment in a film in which narrative information is presented in a condensed fashion.

this is a perfect example of a montage from the movie Rocky III, it shows him improving over a long period of time cut into a few minutes which is effective.

Cross Cutting/parallel editing - Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action occurring in different places, usually simultaneously.
this is a perfect example of cross cutting from the film james bond quantum of solace.

in this scene we are shown a clear dissolving between two scenes which adds good effect
