Montage Concepts

 What are three concepts from this article that you can incorporate into your future montage edit?  Why did you pick these three?  How can you apply them in the edit?

1) Cutting into action: This makes your cut more fluent because your audience is focusing on the action.  
2) Link scenes: Cut from one scene, to a completely different one. Ex) A character on a battle field, about to slice someone --> The character cutting an apple. Your brain connects the two frames, and you infer that he chopped someone. 
3) Insert shot: Cut away from a medium shot for example, to something the acaracter looks at , then back to medium shot. Ex) A character looks at his watch, we focus on the watch, then back to the character. Helps give more detail. 

I picked these because I think they'll be the hardest for me to do, and I want to try to focus on them.
