	Andre Bazin (1919-1958)
		As a theorist, Bazin saw montage as denotative, and leaving out ambiguity; in contrast, he argued that neorealism "tends to give back to the cinema a sense of the ambiguity of reality." i.e., he wanted the viewer to be free to interpret what was happening within the film.
		Metz redefined montage and mise en scene in terms of syntegmatic and paradigmatic categories, and in doing so, was after the underlying logic of film.
		He thus ceased to be mainly interested in such techniques as mise en scene or montage (seeing these as mutually defined techniques, i.e., as analytically inseparable from one another).

		Furthermore, the Behind the Scenes Montage gives the film a homemade feel as Aranofsky shows the film’s collaboration as being truly a family affair.
		The film is photographed in black and white and gives us the birth of Aranofsky’s trademark ‘Hip-Hop Montage’ as so eloquently viewed in ‘Requiem for a Dream’.
		In addition, it shows lead actor Sean Gullette as being more than an actor on the film.

	Sergei Eisenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His published books The Film Form and The Film Sense explain his theories of montage, and they have been highly influential to many directors.
		He performed long research into this area, and developed what he called Intellectual montage.
		He believed that film editing was more than merely a method used to link scenes together in a movie; he felt that careful editing could actually be used to manipulate the emotions of the audience.

		The rewards of Taylor's approach to the film are often a result of his exact attention to iconography and to montage connections and disjunctions.
		The dismantling through montage of the monumental statue of Alexander III, of a model of the monument in truth, is linked in the Taylor book, as in earlier studies, to the architectural career of Eisenstein's father and the sequence is thus understood as an act of psychological liberation from paternal authority.
		This symbolism is said to remain intact, irrespective of the intellectual montage of the gods sequence, which is intended to disprove the existence of a supreme being through a visual process of devolution.

		Yet, it is the use of montage that changes the trilogy from a series of films which incorporate operatic qualities into narrative to a group of works which, on a formal level, develop an operatic equivalent in the cinema.
		The operatic themes of the film would not work, however, without the presence of a style on montage which foregrounded the anti-realist aspects of the duel and its basis in the psychological past of the characters.
		Eisenstein's theory of montage posited that the cinematic image itself was of no value as a sign related to a referent in the real world; in his eyes, the cinema could only signify through the juxtaposition of one image in collision with the next.

	Steve Nottingham: Early Soviet Cinema
		Eisenstein extended the initial theory of montage to encompass intellectual montage, by which a film is constructed as a series of colliding shocks (attractions) to convey a specific meaning to the audience.
		Pudovkin wanted his montage to be seamless, not drawing attention to itself, and be used solely to support the film's narrative.
		Eisenstein saw montage as a dialectical process, which raised conflicts that needed to be resolved.

	A Deleuzian Analysis of Tarkovsky’s Theory of “Time-Pressure.”
		Thus, the montage of attraction produces an explosion of meaning that arouses the viewer, and its purpose is to suggest specific ideas and concepts; and so, the filmmaker creates a new perception of social reality.
		Eisenstein considered montage as the basis of art cinema (film art).
		He is the patriarch of the contemporary Soviet “poetic film.” Tarkovsky strongly opposed montage and believed that the basis of art cinema (film art) is the internal rhythm of the shot.

	Muriel: Thinking With Cinema About Cinema
		As a consequence of this montage style, the aesthetic power of their films is felt at many points throughout the narrative, rather than cumulatively at the end of long scenes or at the conclusion of the film.
		Montage is assigned the function of restoring the "laws of the process of thought," but thought does not necessarily align with the rational or irrational.
		But it is this "intellectual montage" that Tarkovsky (unwittingly expressing Bergsonism) vehemently opposed in both theory and practice (though ultimately he was much closer to Eisenstein’s ‘third meaning’ tonal and overtonal montage than he would ever care to admit or acknowledge).

	Le Gai Savoir by Ruth Perlmutter
		An intricate space and role montage contributes to a redefinition of the cinema/ TV process as a methodological device for the reformulation of ideas.( 10) It is a classical space in which the unities of time, place, action and character are rigorously enforced.
		Spatial montage : the function of the black space, especially with relation to the viewer, to the idea of zero and as a tabula rasa of the transformation of the mental processes effected by cinema/TV means.
		The film is Godard’s own Film Form and Film Sense, pedagogically and cinematically.

	Eisenstein
		For the first time he introduced the concept of "montage," that is, the juxtaposing of two film images to produce a new idea.
		In his theater work, he had devised the "montage of attractions," which was the throwing at an audience of shocking, spectacular scenes, totally unexpected in a theater.
		Montage is the unity and conflict of opposites in art.

		Rhythmic montage deals with the length of each shot: The gradual shortening of shots leads to an acceleration of the film scene.
		Eisenstein’s different forms of montage: METRIC: Refers to the absolute lengths of shots in a formula scheme that relates to music—tension is increased according to the exact lengths of the shots.
		A purely intellectual film freed from traditional limitations—a joining of science and art.

	Film and multimedia
		In film the editor have the fully control of the montage, in multimedia the montage often is defined from the user.
		In film, however, syntax can also include spatial composition, for which there is no parallel in language systems like English and French - we can't say ore write several things at the same time.
		In film the different format support narration in the way that the traditional 4:3 format stress the intimacy while the broader formats are well suited for panoramas.

	Montage
		In the language of film, 'montage' means the uniting of shots of seemingly unrelated objects in the same film sequence so that they take on a new relationship, one to another, in the mind of the viewer.
		We are, in fact, bombarded by montage nearly every time we watch television; most TV commercials employ it as a matter of course, as do almost all video clips and the like.
		In his autobiography, Eisenstein demonstrates the way in which montage may be applied to written images; frequently, he covers 30 years or more on a single page, including "shots" from incidents thousands of miles and decades apart.

	Soviet Montage
		Intellectual montage: end sequence of battleship firing 3 times; 3 images of marble lions - the first sleeping, the second waking, the third rising - appear as a single beast, "aroused as the Russian masses will be ten years later against czarist oppression."
		Rhythmic montage: military order of the steady marching soldiers is in dramatic contrast to the disorder of the fleeing crowd.
		Tonal montage: conflicting intersecting planes and masses and shadows of soldiers' rifles and uniforms intersect the light reflecting off fleeing citizens.

	Olympia
		Film scholars often hail Olympia as an excellent example of Riefenstahl´s technical innovation in that she pioneered such cinematic techniques as montage footage and exhibited crafty and artistic manipulation of the camera; these praises are made with little consideration for the Nazi ideology that the film subtly carries.
		Subsequently, the film shows a montage of physical activity by discus, javelin and shot put throwers and runners, all at the apex of masculinity.
		Finally, in the second half of the film, the viewer sees more footage of semi- and even fully nude athletes exercising and relaxing in what seems to be the Olympic village, set apart from the urban landscape of Berlin.

	Music: Kevin Smith's Musical Side
		There are no less than two key scenes that confirm to the musical montage format where a popular song plays in the foreground while various clips are intercut and flash by the screen to denote the passage of time.
		This is the first film of his in which music plays a more prevalent role.
		To this end, the film generously features the music of Jersey hero Bruce Springsteen ("My City of Ruin" from The Rising and The Boss's cover of Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl"), country legend George Jones, '70s icons Fleet Mac, The Cure, and other recognizable hits from the past.

	Hollywood Bowl - The Big Picture: The Hollywood Musical
		Tonight, the final ballet music (re-titled with one of the film's working titles, Watch Your Step) is performed live for the first time in synchronization with the film for which it was created.
		For a 2000 Hollywood Bowl Orchestra performance, a montage of scenes from classic musicals was specially created by Laura Gibson to accompany the music.
		Some of the most successful musicals of the early 1930s were produced at Warner Bros., and they featured the talents of choreographer (later director) Busby Berkeley and the composer/lyricist team of Harry Warren and Al Dubin.

	BERTOLUCCI
		It's a city where one can do the "montage" for a film well: you spend three quarters of the day there digesting because you eat heavy food and the wine makes you sleepy, thus it is a digestive city, and montage is also a digestive operation, one of assimilation....
		Paris instead is the cinema: from Renoir to Godard through Langlois." Made for a TV audience, Bertolucci stated that as compared with Partner, Stratagem is a film in which there is a certain serenity of the tale, of abandon to the tale (una quale serenità di racconto, abbandono al racconto).
		Filmed in natural light without the use of a zoom lens.

	TP: Toward Multimedia Writing
		The first tried to formulate the notion of intellectual montage and planned to film Marx's Capital.
		For instance, my Ph.D. dissertation begins with a montage of three images which sums up its historical thesis about the engineering of vision: El Lissitsky's photomontage "Tatlin at Work" (1922), a photograph of SAGE operator (early 1950s) and a photograph of a VR user (late 1980s).
		Next, in 1995, I begun a project which I called "Little Movies": a set of short (under 1 minute each) QuickTime films, each film acting as an entry in a diary, presenting a record of an idea, a piece of a thought, an observation.

	Sergei Eisenstein
		The “God and Country” montage from October, where Christian iconography is reduced by stages to pagan mythology, is one of the most astounding examples of associational editing in cinematic history.
		And even the climactic battle in Alexander Nevsky is made periodically gripping by shot composition alone, despite the circus-like accompaniment composed by Prokoviev, the absence of crisp metric and/or rhythmic montage, and the artificiality of the ice floes.
		This technical innovation (which Eisenstein dubbed “intellectual montage”) resulted from his studies of Kuleshov's famous experiments (which demonstrated that the meaning of any shot is contextual) and of Japanese ideograms (where two separate symbols can be juxtaposed to create a third meaning, e.g.

		The Soviet school of montage, whose heyday was in the late 20s, finds its most brilliant auteur here expounding not only upon its philosophy of cinema, but on ways in which this philosophy is in fitting with Marxism, the Hegelian dialectic and science.
		Somewhat hypocritically, then, Eisenstein selects the voice of the intellectual elite to speak to the masses, hiding his true political intentions behind a veil of empty esotericism.

	Danny Elfman 's Music For A Darkened People: Spider-Man (2002)
		I've come to think of the "mid-to-late 90's" phase of Elfman's constantly evolving style as a time where he was testing the limits of what function themes and motifs could really serve in a film score.
		The only cue from the film that's conspicuously absent is the one that begins as Peter Parker climbs the brick wall in the alleyway while discovering his new powers.
		The results often led to more subdued music where the themes were not terribly conspicuous, thusly alienating even his core fan base on occasion, who mostly wanted him to crank out heavily thematic music as he always had.
