Montage is a sequence of clips that can either condense a long period of time into a short one. Or, to show two different things in different locations that are happening at the same time, this is called a space based montage. A time based montage is a montage that shows a period of time in on sequence. A very good historical example of a time based is the rocky training montage.
Rocky is one of the most well known films in history. The montage in rocky 3 is him training with his opponent in the two previous films Apollo Creed. There are loads of fast paced shots and, that changed between scenes to show the progression of his training in one short amount of time. In the montage there are loads of different types of shots such as a few longs shots to show the whole boxing ring, and a few mid shots to show the hands and body when they are training. Also there are a few close up of the race they do on the beach to show the determination on their faces.
