Firstly, I have searched the meaning of Mise-en-scène and Montage.
Mise-en-scène is an expression used to describe the design aspects of a theatre or film production, which essentially means “visual theme” or “telling a story”—both in visually artful ways through storyboarding, cinematography and stage design, and in poetically artful ways through direction. It is also commonly used to refer to multiple single scenes within the film to represent the film. Mise-en-scène has been called film criticism’s “grand undefined term”. I think Mise-en-scène is an action to create the felling.
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. The term has been used in various contexts. It was introduced to cinema primarily by Sergei Eisenstein, and early Soviet directors used it as a synonym for creative editing. In France the word “montage” simply denotes cutting. The term “montage sequence” has been used primarily by British and American studios, which refers to the common technique as outlined in this article.
How to edit is very important in Montage. For example, I am watching a Korean Drama called SIGNAL these days, which I think it has shot greatly like a movie, especially neat editing skills and compact story. The story is similar to the American Movie Frequency, in the aspect that the main characters communicate through time with the help of radio frequency. Since both time and space affect each other, so the editing process and the plot manage need to be more careful. There are some cases, as evidence come to light, the characters and the motive of the crime scene scenario will gradually emerge. This will all been shooting in one time, but the editors need to consider a lot, of course, when they were shooting, they needed to plan all the setting of a variety of props and also the props which need to remark placed after reset.
The Decoupage to a film, as I think is the soul of the film. To be honest, nowadays, there are so many after effect we can use, so many options in every film edit software, even if your shooting is not perfectly, you can use these softwares to modification, but there is no help in editing, it is all on us,
What would like to express the “truth”, to see how the clip. Which is the way how I understand the Montage.
Rely on the principle omitted several points select events and actions to medium shot, panoramic vision to show the spatial relationship to emphasize the close-up visual details and focus omitted partially supplemented by the experience of the audience. This is the narrative montage. Another two are Intellectual montage and Montage.
Actually, there are so many things I can talk about Montage, I think Montage made the video film! I think I will write about another detail article about the montage.
