In this part, the article talks about shot relations. It mentions several cutting. Cross cutting suggests that these scenarios must be parallel, or develop in the same direction, usually happening in the same time. Therefore it can be also called parallel montage. Intercutting is cutting a shot into another series of shots, It is not necessarily a regular and alternative pattern. Match cut is that shots look similar with each other. Although it seems that the action remains unchanged, the fact is that the position of the camera has changed, but the audience does not notice. Jump cut is that the elements of two shots are not totally the same, but are relevant. It skips the time, or creates an abrupt transition, which often make audience feels something being ignored.
These kinds of relations between shot are very important and useful. They always used in films. This knowledge is very helpful.
