As the author said that the Montage has been seen as the essence of cinema for so long. Actually it is the selection and combination of the numbers of cinematic elements. And the logic of the selection and combination arise from the images themselves. The shrill emotional tone can be created by select and combine the acutely angled elements of images. In addition, the author mentioned the performance. The selection and combination of images conclude the mutually interactive elements: movements, gestures, and vocal/facial expressions, they are created by the actor and director in performance. So when people look the montage as the process of both selection and combination in film, the choices about framing, editing, production, and sound design can actually be seen as implicit choices about performance.
