What is a performance montage? Ask for a specific professional answer.

Performance montage is based on the arrangement of shots, and the connected shots contrast and collide with each other in form or content, thus producing rich meanings that a single shot itself does not have, so as to express some emotion or thought. Its purpose is to stimulate the association of the public and inspire the thinking of the audience. Specifically divided into the following four types:

Lyric montage

It is a kind of thought and emotion that transcends the plot while ensuring the coherence of narrative and description. Jean mitry pointed out that its original intention is not only a narrative story, but also a vivid rendering, and it pays more attention to the latter. Major events are decomposed into a series of close-ups or close-ups, which capture the essential meaning of things from different sides and angles and render the characteristics of things. The most common and easily felt lyric montage often cuts into the empty lens symbolizing emotion after a narrative scene.

Psychological montage

It is an important means of psychological description of characters. It vividly expresses the inner world of characters through the combination of pictures and cameras or the organic combination of sound and painting, and is often used to express the spiritual activities of characters such as dreams, memories, flashes, hallucinations, reverie and thinking. This montage is often used in stitching techniques, such as crossing. It is characterized by the fragmentation of pictures and sound images, the discontinuity of narration and the jumping of rhythm, and the sound and picture images have strong dramatist subjectivity.

Metaphorical montage

The author expresses a certain meaning implicitly and vividly through the analogy of lens or scene. This technique often highlights some similar characteristics between different things, so as to arouse the audience's association, understand the director's meaning and appreciate the emotional color of the event. For example, in "Mother", pudovkin associated the scene of workers' demonstrations with the lens group of thawing glacier water in spring to describe the overwhelming revolutionary movement. Metaphor montage combines great generalization with extremely concise expression, which often has strong emotional appeal. However, we should be cautious in using this timidity, and we should combine metaphor and narration organically to avoid being stiff and far-fetched.

Contrast montage

Similar to the comparative description in literature, that is, through the lens or scene in the content of strong contrast (such as poor and rich, bitter and happy, life and death, noble and humble, victory and failure, etc. ) or form (such as the size of the scene, the warmth and coldness of the color, the strength of the sound, the action, etc.), which produces a conflicting effect to express the creator's certain meaning or strengthen the expressed content and ideas.
