Montage

What I mostly took away from these readings is that a montage is obviously a film created by piecing together photographs or short clips of film. The idea of a montage is significant to me because I understand that they allow you to be very selective about the images compiled. You have the ability to take the best segments of something and rearrange them to compose something truly remarkable. They can also create various ways of seeing something from the makers point of view. Everybody sees the world differently so arranging fragments in a way thats unique to you allows these views to be shared. Additionally I found it interesting that the author of "kino-eye" said that montages can clarify things that are seen. Like watching a ballet, usually a complex experience to be seen, can be manipulated to help the viewer notice what is truly important or breathtaking. When sounds are added they can further enhance film and evoke certain feelings or memories in sync with the images. Regardless though. it is truly the camera that is infinitely adjustable and capable of capturing anything. It is not just the film or the editing but rather a combination that off springs montage.
