Etymology

The term 'montage' originates from the French word 'monter', meaning 'to assemble' or 'to put together'. It gained popularity in the early 20th century during the rise of cinema, particularly with the advent of modern film editing techniques. Filmmakers began to use montage as a stylistic tool to speed up narrative pacing, incorporate symbolism, and present information in a visually compelling manner. Notable figures, such as Sergei Eisenstein, revolutionized the use of montage in film, demonstrating how cutting between unrelated images could convey powerful ideas and emotions. Over time, the concept expanded beyond cinema into various media, including music videos, advertisements, and presentations, emphasizing the importance of visual storytelling.
