What are three concepts from this article that you can incorporate into your montage edit? Why did you pick these three? How can you apply them in the edit?
Use Symbols: I chose the use of symbolism because incorporating this tip in a montage edit helps the audience create a story within the seemingly disoriented and unrelated clips. It provides a way for the clips to connect with each other without having it be the same location or time. I can apply this tip into my edit by first looking for a thread in between the shots. Once I have found a theme within the multiple shots, I can create the edit to emphasize the symbolism.
I chose mixing close-ups and deep shots because I understand that variation in shots make the film much more interesting compared to a bland film with similar shots all around. This helps with the overall idea that a montage edit must make the audience "lose control". Having unusual shots in unusual locations keeps messing with the normal expectation of what's to come. I can apply this into my edit by allowing a variation of shots side by side; they do not require to be in completely different locations.
Use Color and Tone:
I chose this clip because I understand myself how odd a montage can look when the overall atmosphere differs between shots unintentionally. By making sure a montage has a similar color sequence, it can create a constant mood throughout the montage. I can apply this into my edit by using the color grading feature on Premiere Pro or by using look up tables to have a constant color. I can also make sure there is a specific color for most of the shots.
