Task 6 - Creating a Montage

Task 6 - Creating a montage



Style of montage - Hollywood 
Intention behind montage - the intention behind this montage was to portray a normal school day within a short period of time.
How our montage made meaning - we chose shots that showed us going in and out of the school. In one of our scenes, we hear a voice shouting "Sarah, pay attention!" which shows a classroom environment and makes it more meaningful  as to why it portrays a school day. We also showed a group of us talking together which shows break time or lunch time. This is a successful example of a Hollywood montage because it clearly shows a full school day because of what the actors were doing.




This style of montage is Soviet. The intention behind this montage was to portray bullying and show a dominant figure over another. Our montage made meaning because we filmed shots of a person getting paper thrown at her and she was covering her face with a book which showed her sadness. We also filmed shots of the person being bullied sitting in the corner in the dark which further shows her upset feeling of being bullied and depression. We also got some shots of wildlife which shows a lion attack on his prey. This creates meaning to our montage because it represents the bullies as the lion and the prey the person getting bullied. It also represents the bullies being a more dominant figure than the person getting bullied as the lion is dominant more than anyone. This Soviet montage was successful because it clearly demonstrated a person getting bullied by the ways the person getting bullied was reacting and the added shots of wildlife increased that because it reflected on what we were creating the montage for.
