Sketch: Exploring Montage & Real-Time on Vine / 6 Hrs in 6 Seconds


The use of some seemingly repeated locations in separate shots signify the passing time.
This is in accordance to Eisenstein’s theory of dialectical montage as the notion that the separate shots combined indicate passing time over one day is completely inferred by a viewer, the shots could have been taken on multiple days in a number of locations. The sequence, going from day to night and even the fact the video was shared on Vine, which utilises mobile videos and highly limits the amount of recordings that can be stored, also adds to the inference that it depicts the same day.
