The two film elements I chose to research were Match Cut and Montage.
Match Cut - A cut from one movie or television camera or shot to another, with the action appearing to continue seamlessly.
This website breaks down and shows how Match Cut is used in the film industry.

Montage - A style of moviemaking that makes extensive use of cuts, camera movements and changes of camera position, particularly to set up new meanings not conveyed by the filmed action itself.
The following website gives step by step directions on how to create a montage.
