1. Montage in Current Cinema Shift from a theory to a tool

2. Soviet montage theory is an approach to understanding and creating cinema that relies heavily upon editing. As learned previously in class.

3. In current cinema, montage is used more as a tool rather than a style of film making. Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. It is usually used to suggest the passage of time , rather than to create symbolic meaning as it does in Soviet montage theory.

4. Today's montages avoid the use of multiple images in one shot, for example, through splits screens. Most recent examples use a simpler sequence of individual short, rapidly paced shots combined with a specially created background song to enhance the mood or reinforce the message being conveyed.

5. Sports training use The standard elements of a sports training montage include a build-up where the potential sports hero confronts their failure to train adequately. The solution is a serious, individual training regimen.

6. The current use has become more of a cliché in current cinema, losing much of the original motive behind its creation.
