1. Exploration and application of montage
(1) Juggling Montage
Juggling montages are also known as attraction montages. It is a means of contagion imposed on a certain emotion of the audience, and it is also a way to express a clear purpose and thematic effect. Among them, the Odessa Stairs is the most classic vaudeville montage sequence in the film. The rush of the unarmed civilians is combined with the neat march of the army, linking the mother's shocked face with the beaten and trampled children, and multiple shots are combined to highlight the fast pace and speed up the audience's emotions. The combination of the content of the picture makes the audience feel anxious. In the cross-cutting of grand scenes and details, the tension and fear of the audience are rendered to a climax by the montage.
(2) Lenovo Montage
When the workers resisted in the film, they beat the dictators one by one and threw them into the water. The montage guides the audience's imagination, showing that these dictators deserve what they deserve.
(3) Symbolic Montage
The only color in the film is the red flag. When the flag is hoisted high, it also symbolizes the coming of hope and the victory of justice.
(4) Metaphor Montage
The inserted lion symbolizes the people. They are the main body of the political arena, and when the lion stands up, it is the day of the people's revolt.
(5) Repeat Montage
During the battle with the opponent's naval ships, the operation of the watch and the machine repeatedly appeared many times. Shows well-organized preparation, fast-paced and fast-paced use of music, making preparations tense and uneasy.
2. Narrative adaptation and orientation
In fact, the battleship surrendered to the other side, not the other side joined the revolutionary ranks at the end. This adaptation fits the demands of politics and promotes the ideology of socialism.
Finally, due to the use of montage, it is not only an ideological propaganda film, but an epic work in the history of film, showing the charm of montage.
