What is soviet montage in film making?

264 viewsOther

My film appreciation class introduced the concept of soviet montage, but I can’t wrap my head around it even with all the online resources I found. What exactly is it? How does it work? Can I have an example of it?

Extreme early film making was all just shot in one shot in order. Like a play.

soviet artists in the 1920s got way into “nah, you can just cut to some other guy, it’s fine” and spread the idea of editing films.

So an example is basically any film or tv show or commercial or anything, not just “montages“ the way people use the word now, but like the whole concept a show can cut between scenes and it’s fine.

it’s any film that cuts between anything in time or space.
