FAQ About The Role of Film Editing in Narrative Storytelling

Why are montages used in films?
Montages are used to compress time, convey a vast amount of information quickly, or depict the progression of events in a short period. They are often employed to show a character's development, a sequence of related activities, or to build a narrative arc without unnecessary detail. Montages can pack emotional impact and efficiently summarize lengthy processes into consumable visual narratives.
