Montage is a film editing technique in which a series of short shots are sequenced to condense space, time, and information. The term has been used in various contexts. In French the word “montage” applied to cinema simply denotes editing. The word “montage” came to identify…specifically the rapid, shock cutting that Eisenstein employed in his films. Its use survives to this day in the specially created “montage sequences” inserted into Hollywood films to suggest, in a blur of double exposures, the rise to fame of an opera singer or, in brief, model shots, the destruction of an airplane, a city or a planet

I heard this word and this technique before. And for now, I use this kind of technique a lot in my own work. For example, when I want to show one person having a conversation with lots of people. I could set a table. I film a person sitting beside the table. He is not changing, I should change different actors when cut to the next frame to show the passage of time, like actor A – actor B -actor A – actor C. and also something like this. I put a cup of coffee on the table in scene 1then I take the same cap of coffee on the table in scene 2. I could use a close-up shot should be better.

I learned that in a different country they use a different way to show the same montage technique. I feel interesting to learn the different techniques of film. I quite like different film language in different country cultures.
