• Montage is a technique in film editing in
which a series of short shots are edited into a
sequence to condense time, space and
information.

10. Film language- Battle of Sandford

11. Activity 1.
• In the shot I have just chosen sergeant angel arrives into the
village. We all see the villains reaction to him making his way
to the village in a series of shots showing their reactions. We
see close-ups of their faces. The editing gets faster as we see
the villains and his friend. The fight starts with him saying
morning.

12. Activity 3
• The different shots that are taken of the
villagers are all composed in different ways.
The way each shot is different is shown
through the way the camera gets closer to
them to show reactions to towards him. They
are also still images so you can see their facial
expressions.
