2.Tutorial: Montage
What is a Montage? Montage is a technique of film editing that combines a series of short shots or clips into one sequence, often set to music. The word montage is French for “assembly” or “editing.”
Montage sequences often imply the passage of time or multiple simultaneous events, and are a vehicle to present the audience with a lot of information at once. Why use a montage? To speed up time. Convey a lot of information at once. Heighten tension. Combine multiple story lines. Reveal a character.
