Monotage


Kuleshov effect - It is a mental phenomenon by which viewers derive more meaning from the interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation . Kulerdsohc effect is basically editing , how different shots are put together to build up into a physical response, not everything is as it seems to be . For example an emotion can be shown by that particular person reacting to something but they may not even be in the room , its based on how everything has been put together . E.g. a man could be looking at nothing and could be smiling but if you take a shot of a women , exposing her aspects of her body , that man smiling could be taken as him being a pervert , but it is all in the act of editing , and how the sequence is up for interruption for the audience . Like they say not everything is as it appears to be you just have to look at the bigger picture , this links to montage , because you can create an alternative meaning by editing . editing can be known as creating an illusion to the audience  Here is an example of Kulerdsohc effect . Another example of the Kuleshov effect is below explaining the same theory but this is a more modern version of the Kuleshov effect where we are shown time-lapse of scenes but link together due to the power of editing and how it looks to the audience for example a women was making a glass of orange juice and put drops of medicine in it we are shown general clips afterwards to make it look like she made the juice an breakfast for someone just by the place of her hand as the scene cuts .

Soviet Montage - Soviet montage theory is an approach to understanding and creating cinema that relies heavily upon editing ( montage is French for "assembly" or " editing") . It is the principal contribution of soviet film theorists to global cinema , and bought formalism to bear on filmmaking . For example some soviet montages have non narrative meanings they are just a collective of single shots that don't exactly fit together . In this example they have assembled quite a collective piece , which include quite a repetitive sequence which is down to way it has been structure / pieced together due to the editing that has taken place in this soviet montage in this particular one she adds real life things but it has no particular nor story behind it , it is just purely about the editing and the non linear order it goes in . Here is the link Soviet montage - How it all started filmmakers leant how experiment with found footage ( shots from old films) , looking at what happened if they put them together in different ways. This links to "Kuleshov effect" They continued to keep the continuity going .Different montage techniques : punchy graphic images ; dramatic cuts form wide shots to extreme close ups ; and sense of movement that's conveyed by the editing
