Monatge

Montage is a form of editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence for it to make sense. It was introduced to the industry by Eisenstein and it was first used as a synonym for creative editing.

Metric Montage

Metric montage is taking frames from a number of shots which are put together to tell a story. Metric can be used to shorten the lengths of different shots and then you keep on using that shot to create emotion. This technique is used to manipulate time taken for a scene because of the fast paced action. 

Below is an example of metric montage;

Rhythmic Montage

Rhythmic Montage focuses on movement within the frame of a shot, which creates a rhythm rather than manipulating the length of the frame which is done using the metric montage effects. Audio also plays a part with rhythmic montage. 

Below is an example of rhythmic montage;

Tonal Montage

Tonal montage is shots that are collected to create a mood as the film is being viewed. Tonal is the opposite of metric because it doesn't use short length clips that can create a sense of emotion;

Below is an example of Tonal Montage;

Over tonal Montage

Over tonal Montage brings together the montages above this, metric, tonal and rhythmic. It uses them to create a mood for the film. 

Below is an example of over tonal montage;

Intellectual Montage

Intellectual Montage uses the juxtaposition of more than one shot to create an intellectual meaning. What this means is the viewer will be able to understand what is going on the film without being told anything.
