When creating a montage sequence, we need to concentrate on how to make it rhythmic editing through the shots instead of caring about the continuity. In montage, imagination needs to be considered more important than rules. To give the sequence some special effects on sound, to put pace at every beat. Montage editing can change the meaning of a scene dramatically. So using montage techniques to emphasis different aspects of the scene’s meaning is more important than adapting the scene as continuity sequence.
This article outlines a very detailed research on montage study. First of all, it introduced the rules of continuity. Then followed by the concept of montage. After this, the history and the theories of montaged are introduced. Lastly, it points out the importance of montage in modern films and creating montage. All of the information above is well introduced. The only limitation is the lack of examples.
It reminds me things to be paid attention to when creating montage. Different ways of montage editing should be applied and explored. The continuity is not that important for montage editing. Do not get tied up because of the continuity. Use your imagination and make connections.
