Eisenstein’s Montage Task

Intentions: We intended to make a story about a guy who fails his test which cuts to the ocean as his anger increases.

Cat and I intended to use an intellectual montage with elements of rhythmic when he slams his hand on the desk and metric as the scene is edited to cut every second when he gets his results back

Action: M:\Students\Year 12\Oliver Huelin\Portfolio\Montage

Evaluation: This went quite well as we were able to create the montages that we liked however the footage is slightly shaky and background noise that ruins the verisimilitude.

About The Edit

In my edit I used tonal and metric. I used metric montage in the middle of the sequence as 3 shots that are all 1.18 seconds long; this emphasises the fast paced editing style. I used the tonal montage just after the bike starts and it cuts to Micah wondering what that noise is (the bike starting) as this creates confusion as he wonders what is that noise? Where is it coming from? And why is someone leaving early?

EISENSTEIN MONTAGE TASK

Plan, shoot and edit a 20-30 second sequence focusing on at least 2 of Eisenstein’s 4 key methods of montage – metric, rhythmic, tonal and intellectual.​

  • Plan (film makers intentions) write a basic outline of what happens in the sequence and then storyboard into at least 10 shots.​
  • Shoot (working in pairs) film the shots for the scenes in locations around school.​
  • Edit use Premiere to cut the shots together in accordance with at least two of Eisenstein’s methods mentioned above.​

DEADLINE : FRIDAY 20th March​

NOTE: While you can use the same or similar footage as your partner, each student should have their own unique version of the edit.

Dr Caligari character inspiration

This is a detective type character that I drew on procreate. I wanted his most prominent features to be his nose and eyebrows to give a contrasting look to the face. I added a hat as a lot of the other characters all had hats on with some hair coming out from beneath it.

Character Inspired by German Expression

I made this character in Adobe Fuse and I made it look as weird as possible but still somewhat realistic. I got some inspiration from the monster from The Goonies. I combined this from characters that were in The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. I then Photoshopped my character into a scene from The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.
