Etymology

The term 'montage' originates from the French verb 'monter,' which means 'to assemble' or 'to mount.' It was first used in the context of film in the early 20th century, particularly associated with the Soviet filmmakers like Sergei Eisenstein. They utilized montage to convey dramatic narratives through the juxtaposition of shots. Over time, montaging evolved not only in films but also in other forms of media, including art and music, where components are assembled to create a new piece. As both a technique and a concept, it highlights the importance of editing in storytelling, allowing creators to manipulate time and perception.
