Action Montage Vs. Soviet Montage (15 min)

Action montages compress time

Soviet montage compresses meaning.

That is, when juxtaposing two images we create a new meaning or A+B = C. If image A is a pumpkin and image B is a piece of candy we may think of a third meaning (Halloween). Or an image of a woman looking blankly into the camera followed by an image of a delicious meal, we automatically combine these two images into a third meaning (the woman’s hunger). For us to interpret this hunger, the woman does not have to “look hungry.” Instead, if she simply is neutral or blank, the audience will put this meaning into the images.
It is the juxtaposition of images that tells the story, or rather, allows the audience to tell the story.

4.27 - We Need A Montage!

Warm-Up (15 min)
POTD

Write an example sentence using the following vocabulary words.
VOTD:
Montage: is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. It is usually used to suggest the passage of time, rather than to create symbolic meaning as it does in Soviet montage theory.

Juxtaposition: Placing of two things side by side to compare or contrast. In film, this is done by editing two different clips; these clips, when juxtaposed, then make a third meaning.
