Black Box Work - The Collision


The Collision
Editing/Kuleshov Theory

Montage editing is compiling a compilation of unrelated shots into a certain meaning. It can be used to create a specific mood or desire of a character, or used to portray thoughts or emotions through a visual aid. The origin of this technique was Kuleshov who baffled hollywood by inventing a original persuasion in film.

His aims were political and he was purely a propagandist but his technique was aquinted enthusingly by western film makers and taken more publicly into the region via mainstream film and television. Enabling editors to interpret film capture as they saw fit. Plastering the convenience of unrelated imagery into decidedly parallel fiction and replacing it with alterations of truth.
