A montage is a filmmaking technique that combines a series of short clips or images to convey a specific idea, emotion, or narrative progression. This method allows filmmakers to compress time, showing the passage of events or the development of a character in a visually engaging way. Montages often use music or sound to enhance the emotional impact of the visuals. In addition to film, montages can also be found in other art forms, such as photography and collage. They are used to create a dynamic visual experience, often highlighting contrasts or themes by juxtaposing different images or scenes.
