MONTAGE EDITING TECHNIQUES

Summarize one of Pudovkin's techniques outlined in this video essay that interests you. How does it contribute to the storytelling in the modern movie clip that the narrator talks about? Why do you find this interesting?

   One of Pudovkin's techniques was Leit Motif. Usually used as a musical term, this describes a recurring musical phrase associated with a particular person place or idea. Music can sometimes play a character in the film. If the character has their own theme song, then whenever they have screen time their theme will most likely accompany them. This can set the mood or tone of the film. The score is also used to tell the story. Different sounds in the score can turn the character from sad to happy. It's a very important aspect in films and without them we would feel a great amount of emptiness in them.
