1. don't just cut on the beat
find out an organic way to cut that repetitive pace; do not rely exclusively on the motion of music. hold balance between predictability of their expectations and subversion of what the audience will expect
2. use matching elements
find elements of connection, for example: similar item in different shots, different perspective in the same scene, simple camera motion staying the same
3. be selective
ask yourself if the clips contribute to the storytelling process, make sure it is cohesive and has meaning

When you used Alfred Hitchcock in your clip how is that possible. Do you need permission to use the voice and clip in your video. It is possible the video can be removed because of using this edit. Liked and subscribed.

Montage explanation is as confusing as explaining what API is. I just say that montage is the same as any videos the only different is it just that it has to make sense, the feeling of relevance should be consistent between such, nothing else.
