Montage song from South Park, Season 6.
As film continued to gain popularity, the film culture around the
world inspired various directors and auteurs to create new and exciting
films. The most influential film maker of early Russian film was Sergei Eisenstein.
Eisenstein is remembered in film for his contribution of the montage. The montage changed the way filmmakers approached film. It allows a filmmaker to tell a story through a sequence of shots that manipulate time. It is still used today and carries with it a psychological impact. In a script it is indicated by a series of descriptive lines, each spaced apart to indicate a series of shots, rather than description that would indicate one shot or scene.
Here's a few clips from some of his films:
Battleship Potemkin (Odessa Step Sequence) (1925)
Oktober
Alexander Nevsky (battle on the ice sequence) - Music by Sergei Prokofiev
Ivan the Terrible
