I found Methods of Montage hard to understand but what I got from it is this. The movement of a scene, combined with movement can affect the audience in several different ways, including intellectually and physiologically. There are different forms of montage that one can use in film to produce different effects similar to how colors can be used in a painting. I found one of his examples, the grain cutting scene in Old and New.

It me to see the example of what he meant. The combination of the movement on screen with the music is very compelling.
Dziga Vertov discuses how a camera is different from the eye. He explains creative ways of using the camera that would not be possible for a live audience to experience. Many of these ideas are still being used today and make movies more interesting than possible in theater or other forms of entertainment. The idea of shooting a boxing match from the view of the contenders rather than the audience has been used many times, including in Rocky, where many the shots seem to be in the ring.
