Document Summary
Reminds us that we are watching a construction. Jump cut any cut that appears to be an interruption of a single shot, as if it is skipping. The characters change positions immediately but the background stays the same or vice versa. Intellectual montage started by the soviet lmmakers. emphasized the dynamic, often discontinuous, relationships between shots. Montage is a very important part in communicating messages through lm. the production of meaning through the combination and juxtaposition of a shot. how the shot is constructed. Audiences are the ones who are the ones that are understanding the meaning. The rst shot was considered to be the man hungry (the food), then happy (the baby), then sadness (the cof n) Dialectical montage when two shots are combined in coalition and then they create a completely new meaning. The thesis (shot a) and the antithesis (shot b), adding them together creates shot c, the synthesis.
