I dont know which tutorial to watch or the exact terms. But I want to make a layered video collage like the MatchBox Twenty - Wild Dogs music video. where do I begin? What tutorials should I watch? Whats the technical way to describe what I want to do? Id want to interplay between positive and negative space with the figure.

That looks like a job for After Effects.

Thank you, Ill look into that. Theres a positive/negative figure/ground masking going on. I'm trying to learn the ways to do this and the correct language to describe what i'm seeing. In a painting you could mask the figure with tape and paint the background then reverse that process to tape mask the background and paint the figure. How does one do this with video elements and not static images?

or in a photo collage just cut out the background/figure to show through another photo.
