Often seen in documentaries, a frozen picture, and then constantly enlarged, and then moved to another picture, what means and skills is this?

When different lens groups are connected together, it often produces meanings that are not available when each lens exists alone. For example, the scene of Chaplin driving workers into the factory gate is connected with the scene of being driven by sheep; Pudovkin connected the scene of melting glaciers in spring with the scene of workers' demonstrations, which made the original scene take on a new meaning. Eisenstein believes that when opposite shots are connected together, the effect is "not the sum of two numbers, but the product of two numbers". 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. (early) morning

Shortly after 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.

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.
