A montage (literally "putting together") is a form consisting of a series of short shots which are edited into a coherent sequence. Or at least coherence was intended. Note that it takes more than a lack of dialogue and some overlaid music to be a montage. Montage is generally considered to be the opposite of Continuity Editing, so discontinuity is key. If the shots are short, but one flows into the next in real time, it's not a montage, it's just a tense scene. Not to be confused with a Motif, although a motif may crop up here if a certain type of image is repeated. See also Scene S.
The 4th and 5th films in the Final Destination film series feature notable montages referring to many previous events of the series.
