Task Four: Montage
Me and my media group: Ronaldo Paloka, Babajide Shokeye, Usman Mahammed and Theodore Kintundi have created our first ever Hollywood and Russian Montage. This is shown below, the first montage is the Hollywood montage and the second one is the Russian montage, there are 3 different form of montages these are the French Cinema, Soviet Cinema and the Hollywood Cinema....
French Cinema, they believe that to make a good montage is just putting a couple of clips together by editing.
Soviet Cinema was discovered in the 1920s, "montage" was a method of placing shots side by side to create new meaning that did not exist in either shot alone.
Lev Kuleshov is a Russian man that was the first to theorise about the relatively young medium of the cinema in the 1920s. He believes that editing a film is like building a house, brick by brick, shot by shot. He also did an experiment that proved his point about editing.
His experiment was taking a shot of a famous russian mans head and placing another image beside showing what the man is thinking, and from this technique the audience understood what Lev Kuleshov was trying to show you, the experiment is known as a montage.
Sergi Eisenstien was a student of Lev Kuleshov and learnt from him, he also mad montage but he had a different idea of making montages. He adds contrast in he's shots, he tries to provoke a group of people, by shocking them whilst he shows a sad death of a cow in the montage Strike.
Rocky Montage.....
As our first montage(Hollywood Montage) we decided to add a big boxer to prepare for a big match, we were able to show a months worth of training in a short amount of time. This montage has a little story behind it, A famous boxer has been beaten in a fight and lost his championship title and he wants his revenge, so he goes through intense training and hopes to win back his title.
Through out this montage the famous boxer 'Joseh Clinton' is having an interview and in the background there's a training scene playing while his speaking so then there's a bit of a narrative to show the view how he feels about the fight and what his been up to win this fight. Also through out the whole montage there's music playing in the background "still D.R.E" to not make the montage too boring and inspire the viewers.
Strike Montage - Sergei Eisenstein.....
Russian Montage.....
As our second montage (Russian montage) we started of with Theodore just sitting down thinking about terrible things that happened in the past and we was able to show this by keep cutting to different scenes.
When he was thinking about something it would cut to a different scene as his getting his personal belongings stolen from him and at this point his powerless. then it would cut back to him to show that he is still day dreaming, it would cut back to a different scene of him thinking about money because he needs to replace the things that got taken away from him.
Also through out the whole montage there would be a different instrumental playing for a different scene, so then it would set the mood for the viewers and it would make it more entertaining.
