Soviet Montage and Formalism:
a. Pudovkins style of constructive editing insisted that each new shot should make a new point. By putting shots on top of each other he could juxtapose them to create new meanings. Instead of close ups, which were to intrusive to the film, he created a montage.
b. the Kuleshov effect was a way to put two shots together. By editing together two seperate shots with two seperate meanings you can form a new meaning. For example if u see a man and then a picture of an apple than you can tell he is hungry, but if you see a man and then a picture of girl playing you would think he is a creeper.
c. The Eisenstinial montage was a "mythical process." Each shot had to contribute to the overall meaning of the sequence rather than contain all the info in one shot. It had to produce a new thought process that provoked new ideas. It contributes to the Odessa Steps because it allows for coverage of most chraracters. When everyone is running away from the shooting soldier we see people dying and people falling and we overall see how everyones reactions contributes to the overall distress of the film.
Andre Bazin and Realism:
a. Bazins frustration with Classical editing was the fact that peopel were not able to experience the entire scence. He felt by cutting the shots into a specific order than the audience was deprived of information.
b. Realist film makers want there audience to chose what meaning they want to put together and form an opinion.
c. Realism in film is accomplished by using long shots, wide screen, lengthy takes, deep focus, panning, craning, tilting, or tracking rather than cutting to individual shots.
