  1. Collage & Montage Hearts & Minds Lecture 3 A collage

    is a composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface; a montage is a single composition created by juxtaposing a series of pieces of paper, photos or other media to create an artistic image. 1 Sunday, 24 February 13
  2. Collage • col·lage • a. An artistic composition of materials

    and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color. • b. A work, such as a literary piece, composed of both borrowed and original material. • 2. The art of creating such compositions. • 3. An assemblage of diverse elements: a collage of conflicting memories. 2 Sunday, 24 February 13
  3. Montage • the process and result of making a compositephotograph

    by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. • Montage pron.: /mɒnˈtɑːʒ/ is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. 20 Sunday, 24 February 13
  4. Soviet Montage Theory • Methods of montage • Metric -

    where the editing follows a specific number of frames (based purely on the physical nature of time), 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. • Metric montage example from Eisenstein's October. • Rhythmic - includes cutting based on continuity, creating visual continuity from edit to edit. • Rhythmic montage example from The Good The Bad and the Ugly where the protagonist and the two antagonists face off in a three-way duel • Another rhythmic montage example from The Battleship Potemkin's "Odessa steps" sequence. • Tonal - a tonal montage uses the emotional meaning of the shots—not just manipulating the temporal length of the cuts or its rhythmical characteristics—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. • Tonal example from Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin. This is the clip following the death of the revolutionary sailor Vakulinchuk, a martyr for sailors and workers. • Overtonal/Associational - 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. • Overtonal example from Pudovkin's Mother. In this clip, the men are workers walking towards a confrontation at their factory, and later in the movie, the protagonist uses ice as a means of escape.[1]. • Intellectual - uses shots which, combined, elicit an intellectual meaning.[2] • Intellectual montage examples from Eisenstein's October and Strike. In Strike, a shot of striking workers being attacked cut with a shot of a bull being slaughtered creates a film metaphor suggesting that the workers are being treated like cattle. This meaning does not exist in the individual shots; it only arises when they are juxtaposed. • At the end of Apocalypse Now the execution of Colonel Kurtz is juxtaposed with the villagers' ritual slaughter of a water buffalo.
