A Users Guide To Detournement

this article seems to be point out the meaning and history of Detournement. like using restoration of old museum paintings as a example. also it mentions reworking on old works, so from what i was able to gather from reading this is that by doing detournement, we are changing up what a original piece could have meant.

Methods of Montage

Before reading Eisenstein's "Methods of Montage", I did not realize how many different types of editing techniques there were, and how technical it was, and how each type can portray a story or emotional response for certain scenes.

Tonal Montage

Just thought this would be a good example of tonal montage.

Methods of Montage

In response to this, I watched a couple of Call of Duty (only because that's all I could really think of when I thought of 'montage') montages. I'm still not 100% on all of these different kinds of montages, but from what I did understand, I think a good deal of those montages were tonal montage. Most of those kinds of montages are done with music in the background, and the cuts aren't the same length. The tone of the montage is to showcase the player's talent, so the viewer is supposed to be in awe. In addition, the music is fast-paced to kinda set the mood of the piece.

Eisenstein's Methods

 

Eisenstein's Methods of Montage Metric, Rythmatic, Tonal, Overtonal, and Intellectual are all relatively simple as an explanation and despight being geared toward the use of film in his explination can be adapted for use outside of this. This is easily seen other forms of new media this includes both performance and music.

Methods of Montage

seeing how shots in certain different directions are used help try to relay the effect that the director is trying to get out of the audience's possible reaction. like during a showdown in the old west switching every few seconds to each person involved in the main area of the scene. Zack Synder's use of montage  in "Man of Steel" confused me like crazy, because his method was erratic at times, where it was emotional on certain parts or it becoming metric at certain bits. but a better director at using montage was christopher nolan in his batman movies, where he established forms of montage at the right length without swinging from scene to scene like zack sender.
