Shot reverse shot is used in this clip so that we can see both sides of the conversation. We can also see how each of the characters react to what the other person says. So we don't miss anything.
2) When Harry Met Sally- Split Screen
A split screen is used in this scene so that viewers can see both sides of the conversation at the same time, by splitting the screen into two, both in different locations, but at the same time. Other examples of split screens in films are 500 Days of Summer and The Virgin Suicides.
3) Parallel Editing- The Silence of The Lambs
In this clip, we can see two different sets of action unfolding at the same time. One within the house, and one outside the house. Towards the end of the clip, we can see another set of action with Clarice. We are made to feel that the police are intercepting on the house of the Cannibal, but in actual fact it is Clarice who is outside the Cannibal's house. The effect of parallel editing is that all three events are linked together and it causes tension to build.
Other examples of Parallel Editing can be found in The Godfather and Inception.
4) Montage - Big Hero 6
It's used to summarise the past, and bring the audience up to speed about what's happening. It's several clips edited together to show what happened over a long period of time.

5) Eyeline Match - Star Wars
Eyeline matches is an edit that cuts from a character to whatever the character is looking at. In this clip Princess Leia is shown looking at the Storm Troopers and then the scene cuts to them. She is then shown pulling out a gun. The scene then cuts to the storm Troopers again so that we can see who she is shooting at. Eyeline match is a continuity editing practice that creates a logical look or gaze of a character as it follows the eye's trajectory.
