cross-cutting
Alternating between scenes
Cross-cutting describes something that spans or intersects multiple categories, groups, or domains rather than applying to just one: cross-cutting issues like climate change affect every department, cross-cutting themes in the curriculum.
In film, cross-cutting is an editing technique that alternates between two or more scenes happening simultaneously, building tension or showing parallel action.
