dc.description.abstractBackground: In this paper, the author will be scrutinizing the theory of Montage, and the contribution of Sergei Eisenstein to it as well as his filmmaking career which he later proceeds after working as an engineer like his father, and as a theatre decorator for a long time before becoming a prominent director and theorist of all time in the world of Montage & Cinema. Eisenstein is known as one of the pioneers who developed the Montage Theory. Albeit, Eisenstein did not invent Montage, he elevated and changed the way film directors use the technique. The study analysed the various literature published by and about Sergei Eisenstein and Montage Theory. Conclusion: In light of Eisenstein's montage theory, the study concludes that a number of montage techniques can be applied to the creation of motion pictures in various distinct ways like putting shots in quick sequential succession to increase the speed of time in a film advancing the plot and ensuring the audience is alert and aware of what is happening in the scene. Using the text primarily to give the audience information and updates about the characters and the narrative as well. Can be used for a purpose of raising the stakes and suspense in films. Montage can also serve the purpose of showing the transformation of the characters. It can help the viewer understand the film's psychological or mental dramatic shift which makes the audience feel from what they see. It can be used to combine two different scenes or stories in a film. Recommendations: The study recommends that more study on Montage can be probed to understand how it relates with the cinematography and editing of animated films.en_US
