Montage, originally an architectural term, means composition and assembly. One of the main narrative means and expressive means of film creation. This film combines a series of shots taken in different places, from different distances and angles and in different ways to describe the plot and portray the characters. However, when different lens groups are connected together, they often have meanings that each lens does not have when it exists alone.

Montage sentence refers to a film and television shot with coherent logic, rhythm and relatively complete meaning, which consists of a series of shots in the film and television shot combination. We call it a sentence, which is also commonly called a montage sentence.

A montage sentence usually represents a unit's task or a complete action, a part of an event, can explain a specific problem, and is the basic unit of organizing materials, revealing ideas and shaping images in lens assembly.

Montage sentences and sentence patterns

For example: 1. Panorama A little girl walked into a meadow.

2. Close-up girl looks around.

3. A close-up of a small wild flower in the grass.

4. Panorama The little girl ran over and squatted down to explore the flowers.

Mid shot: The little girl looks at the small wild flowers in her hand.

The above five shots are connected together, and the content of "A little girl saw wild flowers on the grass and picked them to see" is clearly explained, forming a relatively complete montage sentence.
