cinema which is totally dependent upon editing. In 1920 Soviet film makers used
to view the montages marks a new note in the approach of film cinema. Montage
can be called as the nerve of cinema and determining the nature of montage. Eisenstein’s
view regarding montage was that it arises from collision of thoughts where
there is element perceived not in the next but on the top of other. Editing in
graphic qualities, violations and creation of the impossible nothings gave
birth to new technologies. There are changes in the shots which are mostly used
in the Hollywood to grasp the attention of their viewers. It’s all about storytelling
and poetry.
As there are lot
of variations in the prose same way in poetry there are lot of decorative
rhymes which has a greater meaning. Story is a long one compared to a poem. It’s
just an art if adding and a new revolution in film studies which gives the
viewers a chance to learn, interpret and create a better world of
understanding. Montage can be seen in almost every films of today’s era, it’s
used to make the story attractive and consume less time. Montage includes all
