What is Understanding Soviet Montage Theory about?
The Soviet Montage theory originated in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and was pioneered by filmmakers like Lev Kuleshov and Sergei Eisenstein. It involves editing together clips or images in a way that suggests new meanings or ideas to the audience. One technique is intellectual montage, where unrelated shots are juxtaposed to imply a connection. Alfred Hitchcock used metric montage in the famous shower scene in Psycho (1960), cutting between shots rapidly to build tension without showing graphic violence.
