Problem
I. Locate two instances of discontinuity through montage in Battleship Potemkin (that you locate without the help of the informational video)
II. How is the Marxist idea of dialectics related to the theory of montage?
III. Why is Battleship Potemkin different in terms of its structure and characters from most films we watch today? Think particularly about the number of characters and the way they are framed as well as how the action progresses.
IV. How is the style of Soviet montage a precursor of the cinema of today? Try to find 2 examples of film clips online that use some principle of montage (whether metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal, or intellectual). Try to lock in on the nature and effects of this montage. Please do not just post anything--think a bit about how montage is used in the sequence you choose.
Also: define the following terms from your reading:
Sign, continuity editing, diegetic vs. extra-diegetic sound, match editing, master shot, 180 degree rule.
