Video cut-ups

Video cut-ups are a creative editing technique where segments from different video clips are rearranged, combined, or juxtaposed to produce a new, often abstract or layered visual piece. This approach can evoke specific emotions, challenge perceptions, or highlight contrasts by disrupting the original narrative flow. Similar to collage art in visual media, cut-ups prioritize aesthetic expression and conceptual exploration over traditional storytelling, making them popular in experimental film, music videos, and art projects. The process emphasizes deconstruction and recombination, resulting in a dynamic, fragmented viewing experience that encourages viewers to interpret new meanings.
