Montage

In this week, we covered the lecture about montage and also use of transitions in the movie. In order to put together videos side by side, montage is the most important step to create watchable movies for audience. As we watched the most terrible movie in the classroom, we also recognized importance of the montage in movie. For example, even if we shot whole car travel by camera, we cant use all the road scene at the same time. Audience get bored while they are watching the movie. The first important rule for filmmaker is that not bored people, make curiosity. This makes audience full concentration in movie. So, at that time, we use montage. Montage makes films dynamic. Morever, if selection of music matches with the movie tempo, also it makes more dynamic. Audiences also feel like they are in movie. The way using music makes people sad, happy, nervous etc. 

The another important part is using transition in movies. While watching a movie, we try to make connection between two scenes at the same time so, the way using transition gets more significant because transition should make sense. For example, dissolve is a transition to make connection between two scenes but if two scenes totally different than each other, people don’t get the idea of what these scenes relation to each other. The movie which is called Lawrance of Arabia has good transition in terms of shape, size, color and relation. Director of movie is David Lean. The way using dissolve matched in term of color of orange and red, and audiences make connection between these two images. The tone of red in the sky and orange color of desert compatible with each other. 

In order to make good film, only good shots are not enough to make a good film. Editing, transition, harmoniousness, lighting etc. everything should consider and be balance.
