* CallBack: The clip where a man says "Warmth and brightness will return and renewal of the hopes of men" is heard twice, once just after the two-minute mark and again at the very end. The call-back reinforces the message of hope.
* ConversationCut: Some of the audio clips are strung together to form a single statement, like a bit where a man can be heard proclaiming as if in a speech, "We believe--", and then a second voice in a much calmer manner says "Warmth and brightness will return and renewal of the hopes of men."

Added DiffLines:

* OneEyedShot: One brief sequence is a quick montage of several human eyeballs in extreme closeup.
* TheKenBurnsEffect: Almost all of the stills in this film do not use the Ken Burns effect. The one time it is employed is when the camera pans over what looks like a Renaissance painting of a bunch of naked women.

* SceneryGorn: There's some overtly disturbing imagery, like the dead soldier, and much of the rest is arranged in a disconcerting manner.
* StockFootage: Some stock footage, like an atomic bomb blast, and stock audio clips from beginning to end.

* ApocalypticMontage: Suggestive of this, with clips like an atomic bomb blast, ruined urban scenery, and the body of a dead soldier; the famous [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Stroop_Report_-_Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising_06b.jpg/800px-Stroop_Report_-_Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising_06b.jpg photo of a Nazi pointing a gun at a Jewish boy]] in the Warsaw Ghetto also flashes past.
* {{Blipvert}}: The UrExample, as some of the clips flip past each other with blinding speed, like the sequence where Khrushchev's and Eisenhower's faces blend into each other.

''Very Nice, Very Nice'' is a 1961 short film from Canada directed by Arthur Lipsett, produced by the Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada.

The film is a seven-minute collage. Lipsett was a worker at the National Film Board who began collecting sound clips for his own amusement. Eventually he combined those audio clips with some stock footage and photographs, some previously found photos, others taken by Lipsett and his comrades in urban settings like New York and Paris. The film does not have a story as such, but is a portrait of urban alienation and anomie, in a culture driven by military aggression and empty consumerism.
