Fiction adaptation: Montage

We were tasked to create a montage using some stock footage, as this would be good practice for if we wanted to include some montage in our final films. We had a lecture about the different types of montage, and the different effects that they create in the audience, most of the time without words. An example of this is what Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov did. He had a shot of a man's face, and then changed the shots that followed it. This caused the audience to put different meanings to the man's face, despite the shots of his face being the same one used in all three films. This is called the Kuleshov effect, and is a very effective form of montage.
