My video class required me to make a montage to help teach us how to show the passage of time. The video is about Drew and Leigha (my friend Meg and I) on a date to watch all the lord of the rings movies in order. We set the camera up on a tripod and hit record... Thats all we did. We both liked the idea of being able to tell a story with only one camera angle and US moving around, doing all the action and stuff making the shot interesting.
A montage is suppose to be, but not always, fast paced actiony. It show the basic highlights between two points in time. Like in the video it starts at the beginning of the day early in the morning, but I didn't show you everything we did just the more interesting parts. If I just showed us sitting there for 3 1/2 minutes it would be very boring, I wouldnt watch that... Would you?
As always, let me know what you think about montages and their use in the comments below.
