The Kuleshov Effect is a montage technique created by Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the early 1900s that demonstrates how the brain connects two sequential shots, making it more effective than a single isolated shot. An example is a close-up of a man's expressionless face cut between shots of a bowl of soup, a girl in a coffin, and a beautiful woman, which appears to change his emotion from hunger to sadness to lust due to the audience's assumptions about what he is looking at. Kuleshov showed how editing can influence the emotions audiences derive from a sequence.
