What is montage editing?

The way or process of making this artistic combination is to arrange and combine a series of shots taken in different places, different distances and different angles to describe the plot and portray the characters.

The main functions of montage are:

* Through the cutting and combination of shots, scenes and paragraphs, the material is selected and accepted, so that the performance content is prioritized, highly summarized and concentrated.

* Guide the audience's attention and stimulate the audience's association. Although each shot only shows a certain content, a certain shot sequence can standardize and guide the audience's emotions and psychology and inspire the audience to think.

* Create a unique film and television time and space. Every shot is a record of real time and space. After editing, the time and space are reconstructed to form a unique film and television time and space.

Type:

Montage has two functions: narrative and ideographic. Accordingly, we can divide montage into three basic types: narrative montage, expressive montage and intellectual montage. The first is narrative means, and the latter two are mainly used to express ideas.

On this basis, it can be divided into two levels, namely: narrative montage (parallel montage, cross montage, repeated montage and continuous montage), performance montage (lyric montage, psychological montage, metaphor montage and contrast montage) and intellectual montage (juggling montage, reflection montage and thought montage).
