Methods of Montage

Hi everyone. I am Tran. After reading “Methods of Montage”, I have learnt about 5 types of montage. Two of them I really like are tonal montage and intellectual montage.  With the tonal montage, editors use pieces of melody to produce a motion and light to give the meaning. 'Psycho’ can be a good example for this type.  With the rush rhythm, we can feel the intense of violence even though we do not see the killer doing the action directly.  To me, music is part of life, so that is the reason I really like this type of montage.  The other montage I like is intellectual montage. We do not need to show everything, but viewers still understand the message of that movie through symbols. “They Live” is a good instance for this.  When he wore glasses, he saw real messages like “obey” or “stay asleep” behind the beautiful or persuasive advertisement.  In my view, showing meaning thru symbols can make the movies more attractive. To conclude, thanks to this reading, I learn new concept in filming, but I still have some confused about metric with rhythmic, and tonal and overtonal montage.  Therefore, I still looking for more information of these, and hope to learn more new concept from this class.

But aides all that, personally I didn’t expect the narrator to be a major part in movies, stories, documents etc. The way I use to see the narrator is just a person that mumbles about stuff but, actuals puts input to the story and gives a feel to the viewer. Also, I never really understood why some movies start right into the middles of action then cuts to the beginning where it starts inducing charters or some problem. But know I get it. It gets me thinking on how the story is going to play out. It does leave me at this cliffhanger where I want to see more but explains what happens before it gets to that situation. But down fall of that is how some movies give you enough info...
