What is the definition of montage?

Montage (French: montage) is a transliteration loan word, which means "splicing" in French, but it has been developed into a theory of lens combination in movies in Russia, and it is also a unique artistic technique, which is the meaning of freestyle painting in paint and painting industries.

When different lenses are spliced together, they often have special meanings that each lens does not have when it exists alone. This writing is also called montage.

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. The big aspect can be divided into performance montage and narrative montage, and then subdivided into psychological montage, lyric montage, parallel montage, cross montage, repeated montage, contrast montage, metaphor montage and so on.
