монтаж


The term Montage is french for "Putting together". So in film making, a montage is when a series of short clips are put together usually to suggest the passing of time. A main pioneer of montage was Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948)
Eisenstein believed that he could create a bigger impact and a different emotion by using two or more images to get the point across. This was referred to as "tertium quid" or the third thing so it makes the audience experience something deeper than if the two images were being viewed on their own. Here is an example of Eisienstein's work in his film "October" which he uses montage once again, seemingly using images that are unrelated to create the "Tetrium Quid".
