EISENSTEIN
- Eisenstein believed that editing was: ‘the foundation of film art’
- For Eisenstein, meaning in cinema lay not in the individual shot but only in the relationships among shots established by editing.
- He created an editing style that he called "dialectical montage" that was abrupt and jagged and did not aim for smooth continuity.
- The jaggedness of Eisenstein's editing can create a sense of emotional and physical violence , but he also aimed to use editing to suggest ideas, a style he termed "intellectual montage."
- One of his films concludes with three shots of statues of stone lions edited to look like a single lion rising up and roaring, embodying the idea of the wrath of the people and the voice of the revolution.
