Hitchcock on Montage:
SOVIET MONTAGE
A Dialectical Approach to Filmmaking
Metric: Measured number of frames, regardless of action in shot (mechanical):
example: Scene from Eisenstein's October
Rythmic: cutting for continuity (aesthetic, narrative)
example: Eisenstein's Odessa Steps Sequence, Battleship Potemkin, 1925
Tonal: taps into the emotional quality of the shots to create a complex emotional landscape
Overtonal/Associational: combination of all of the above, moving towards abstraction to illicit emotional reactions
example: from Pudovkin's Mother, 1926
Intellectual: when shots combined, viewer forms intellectual meaning
example: Eisenstein, Strike, 1925
