Soviet Montage Theory relies on editing to make cinema more understanding and created. The five methods of montage were described by Sergei Eisenstein in his introductory essay “Word and Image”. Metric: There are a certain number of frames that the editing follows. Rhythmic is basically keeping the continuity through out the whole film. Tonal is all about the emotional meaning, which involves the length of the cuts and get a reaction from the audience. Overtonal/associational is made up of the metric, rhythmic, and tonal montage to effect the audience for a better effect. Finally, intellectual is filmed with shots both elicit and intellectual meaning. Eisenstein was considered the “father of montage”. Eisenstein believed that montage is dialectical, therefore is an example of Marxism and Hegelian philosophy.If it were not for the Soviets then we may never have the epic montage scenes that are plastered all over Hollywood. The Soviets started the way for many other types of cutting.
