What is the montage technique in movies?

Montage (French: montage) is a transliteration loan word, originally an architectural term, meaning combination and assembly. Commonly used in three artistic fields, it can be interpreted as an intentional manual collage and editing technique in time and space. It first extended to film art, and later it was widely used in derivative fields such as visual art, including interior design and artistic coatings.

Montage originally refers to the relationship between images. After the appearance of audio movies and color movies, the application of montage has a broader world in images and sounds (human voice, acoustics, music), sounds and sounds, colors and colors, light and shadow, etc. There are many names of montage, so far there is no clear grammatical norm and classification, but the film industry generally tends to be divided into three categories: narrative, lyrical and rational (including symbol, contrast and metaphor).

Extended data:

With the help of montage, movies enjoy great freedom of time and space, and even form movie time and space that are inconsistent with real life time and space. Montage can produce a third action besides the actor's action and the camera action, thus affecting the rhythm of the film. As early as the film came out, American directors, especially Griffith, noticed the role of film montage. Later Soviet directors Kuleshov, Eisenstein and pudovkin successively discussed and summarized the laws and theories of montage, and formed the montage school. Their related works have had a far-reaching impact on film creation.
