Sept. 6th Sergei Einstein

The way I understood it, the montage being spoken about in the article is the actual piece of work itself, however long, made up of shots (individual cells). The way that Einstein describes the art of montage is how it grows from individual cells. The whole of the montage is realized through devotion to the baselines of the work. The effort of organizing every cell so that it's lighting, shape, style, stillness or speed coincides just enough and not too much for the contrast to go overboard. It keeps the pace but switches from shot to shot to show a changing and forming film world, but not enough to lose a watcher in the midst of the collisions. Good montage sequences do exactly that. Artists use auditory and visuals in pair with one another, creating a rhythm by using the two senses are reflectors of each other. The synchronization is something that we've managed to achieve today when it comes to sound and visual performance, and I can only image all the tools we'll be seeing in the enhancement of montage.
