Montage.

After looking at the the battleship potemkin I started to think of all the diffrent ways of editing footage to show a large amount of time passing. In media they call this 'montage'. I found lots of diffrent types. belowe are some of the methods that I think i could use in my FMP film. A montage can also me a group of realted images. I have been out taking some photos to make my own mini narative.

Methods of montage

Metric this is where cutting to the next shot no matter what is happening within the image. This montage is used to elicit the most basal and emotional of reactions in the audience. Example: Eisenstein's October.

Rhythmic this is cutting based on time using the visual composition of the shots. Once sound was introduced, rhythmic montage also included audial elements, such as music, dialogue & sounds. Example: The Battleship Potemkin's "Odessa steps" sequence.

Tonal a tonal montage uses the emotional meaning of the shots to elicit a reaction from the audience even more complex than from the metric or rhythmic montage. For example, a sleeping baby would emote calmness and relaxation. Example: Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin, This is the clip following the death of the revolutionary sailor Vakulinchuk, a martyr for sailors and workers.

Overtonal. The overtonal montage is the cumulation of metric, rhythmic, and tonal montage to synthesize its effect on the audience for an even more abstract and complicated effect.

Intellectual Uses shots which, combined, elicit an intellectual meaning.
