Montage technique in composition

Montage is the expression of movies. Taking advantage of the situation to write is to purposefully connect or combine pictures or stories related to the center in some way to make them coherent, contrasting, contrasting and suspenseful, so as to serve the purpose of expressing the article.

The use of montage has the following forms:

First, parallel montage. It arranges and combines events at different times and places according to certain ideas, thus highlighting the author's ideas. Second, subjective montage. Connect multiple pictures or scene groups according to the inner activities of the characters. Mainly used to express what people see and feel, see and hear, his memory, hallucinations, thinking, imagination and so on. A short article entitled "Everything is for the exam" describes a "strange dream". The author vividly reproduces the chaotic psychological state of a middle school graduate before the exam with the intricate intersection of illusion and illusion, which is natural and true. There is an impulsive feeling between the lines-a middle school student is tired and crying. Please enjoy the fragment of the composition "There are clouds and dreams":

"When I was in primary school, I formed this dream. I feel inexplicably that there are beautiful scenery, strange buildings, quiet villages and vast forests on the clouds, but there is no one. "

"After junior high school, with the increase of experience, this dream has some specific contents. On the thick and boundless sea of clouds, there is a continent floating. It faces the vast blue sea in the east, the misty peaks in the west, vertical and horizontal rivers and beautiful waterfalls in the south, and endless grasslands and forests in the north. "

"Every morning, the first ray of sunshine passes through the vast ocean and shoots into the dense forest, leaving countless golden spots on the ground. The sunlight awakened the sleeping birds. The cool breeze carries the songs of birds through forests and grasslands and floats to the center of the mainland. "

"Now, I often see such pictures in my mind: under the scorching sun, beside tall buildings, on dusty roads and in anxious traffic, I am sweating, frowning, carrying my schoolbag, pedaling my bike and trudging past. Above my head, beyond the gray sky, there is a thick white cloud. White clouds, which I can't reach, float over my head again and again, but I can't jump all the time.

"Dream on the clouds", what a magical realm. From childhood dreams to wandering in the strange and magnificent cloud world in junior high school, and then to the desire for the cloud in the real situation in senior high school, we clearly read the author's mental journey. The brightness and tranquility on the cloud and the sadness and helplessness under the cloud in the article. Who can say that life should not have good hopes and pursuits?

Third, contrast montage. Connect two completely different or fundamentally opposite things and people, set each other off as interest, produce strong contrast, show good and bad, good and bad, etc. Please read the composition "Thinking about Life":

"They dug their black eyes out of their sockets and looked around. Those two leaflike mouths often spit out two or three thin beards and kept shaking in the water. ...

"Forty feet rustled in the pot, struggling in horror. In the high pot, long legs grabbed the edge of the pot and were dialed in by chopsticks ... Twenty seconds later, they were quiet, slightly blistered, and their feet twitched occasionally, welcoming death with fear and numbness. The blue flame burns under the pot, screaming and whistling. The heat is rising. Suddenly, a crab turned over with a bang, white. It was a motionless face, painfully twisted. The other three, motionless, just lying in hot water, frozen stiff. White gas rose to the Song Dynasty, like countless tiny paper money. Shells turned into white, yellow, orange, orange-red, crimson ... boiling hot water, spewing upward and surging. "

The author recorded the fate of crabs in a montage form, from fresh life to painful struggle, which naturally triggered our thinking about life, with a strong lyrical flavor. "Without saying a word, it is a storm."

Fourth, repeat the montage. Scenes with certain significance will appear repeatedly at critical moments to achieve the purpose of depicting characters and deepening the theme. Please look at the fragment of "Father":

"Just out of school, he noticed his father hunched but broad shoulders, squatting alone with a tractor. That tractor is old and rusty. "

"He looked at his father's broad shoulders. The afterglow of the sunset shone on my father and on his smiling mouth. "

"The setting sun was brighter again, and he found his father's shoulders shaking slightly."

In this paper, the "lens" of "shoulder" appears repeatedly: "hunched over but wide" and "slightly shaken a few times". Through the language of the picture, the image of a father who has experienced vicissitudes and is strong and optimistic is shaped, which eulogizes the great fatherly love.

Of course, it is particularly important to point out that the use of montage depends on whether an author has profound thoughts and noble artistic interests. Don't concentrate all your energy on renovation, and pursue "absurdity" and "strangeness".

I just learned it, too
