Our first exercise in the Introduction to Video module was to create a 60-90 second video montage. We were given mostly free reign to experiment with different shots and clips. A quick check on the wikipedia page for montage sequence will define it as " a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots is edited into a sequence to condense narrative." Montages in film are almost always used in this way.
Sergei Eisenstein is the most well known figure when discussing montage, he has been noted for his use and academic writing on montage techniques, contributing to what is known as soviet montage theory. This theory describes 5 different types of montage sequence which differ in the complexity of the meanings its trying to communicate and of the cinematic techniques it uses.
Upon reviewing my finished montage my work falls into the "metric" montage category.
