Parallel Editing shows things happening in different places at the same time. The film The Martian uses Parallel Editing to show Matt Damon, the people on earth, and his crew mates on the space ship. Gravity chooses to use no parallel editing.

- Shot 10 the off screen space is revealed.
- The whole film suspends revealing who the witch is. You don't get to see her until the end.
