Montage comes from architectural terminology and is willing to assemble for installation. In short, it is the assembly of lenses. At the beginning of the film's birth, there was only a long shot (continuous shooting). The montage created by the British Breston School was accidental and was carried forward by the montage school of the former Soviet Union.

Montage can be classified into narrative montage and performance montage.

Tell me about narrative montage.

The function of narrative montage is to express and tell the story development. Such as parallel montage in narrative montage. In movies, two or more secondary plots of "two flowers blossom, each showing a branch" often develop together, and the development of both sides is staggered and promoted together, which is the parallel montage in narrative montage. Parallel montage can show the plot development of different scenes at the same time and create a tense atmosphere.

Combine with movies ...

For example, in the movie Phantom of the Opera, Christine plays a dumb servant on the stage, and the performance on the stage is going on. In the theater, the phantom pursues the nonsense workers, and the scenes on the stage alternate with the scenes of the phantom pursuing the workers. As the music gradually reached its climax, the atmosphere between the fields was constantly tense, and finally the workers hung on the stage to interweave the two lines. Compared with the plot of single-line development, such parallel montage makes the plot more compact and tense.
