Who is Sergei Eisenstein?
Sergei Eisenstein wan an early Russian film Maker who has been considered to be the 'Father of Montage'. He is mainly known for his silent film strikes (1924). Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1927). Eisenstein believed that there was more to editing than just illustrative a scene through 'linkage' if related images.
He created and developed five different methods of montage:
Over Tonal: The over-tonal montage is the accumulation of metric, rhythmic, and tonal montage to show its effect on the audience for an even more abstract effect.
Tonal: Tonal montage uses the emotional meaning of the shots. For example, a sleeping baby would emote calmness and relaxation. (tone implied).
Rhythmic: Rhythmic montage is when there is visual continuity from edit to edit
Intellectual: Intellectual montage is when shots are combined to create an elicit and intellectual meaning.
Metric: Metric montage is where the editing follows a specific number of frames, cutting to the next shot no matter what is happening in the image at that time. This technique is usually used to show the emotional reactions of the audience.
