Emotion Montage

''I love you. Let me spend the entire day proving that. Or whatever.''

This happens when the Audience "needs" to have the current emotional situation described to them in the form of many short clips put together. It's something like with a Sock Puppet Explanation, but it's visual-based, not verbal. It's often seen as unnecessary to the plot as it's redundant: we've already been shown what the mood of the media is with past scenes, and now we're being told again with this montage.

An example of an Emotion Montage is a romantic one. We're shown two characters who fell in love going through their day with each other and being happy. However, this isn't always about love. This can be about how depressed someone is, or about their newfound happiness, or about them hurting after the Factitious Friend Break-Up. If that's the case, then it's Sad Montage, Happy Montage, and Angry Montage respectively.
