into the culture I am part of. The meme I chose is a simple meme with a very little caption. It appears to be two frames that show the box cover of the game “Battleship”.

Techniques of Montage in Run Lola Run to Create Dialectical Meaning Run Lola Run (Tom Tykwer‚ 1998) is a film that is edited together in a way not necessarily for traditional continuity editing‚ rather to create meaning for the shots in the film. It is edited at a very fast pace‚ leaving many shots to be only one or two seconds long‚ with the main focus being on the film’s various attractions to get meaning across to the viewer. This type of montage aligns specifically with Sergei Eisenstein’s theory

apart during Citizen Kane’s breakfast montage‚ the mise-en-scene and technical devices used to reinforce this idea are less recognizable. The variation of the actors’ demeanors and placement‚ the progression of costumes‚ and the use of lighting subtly support the presentation of a deteriorating marriage‚ and furthermore‚ of Kane’s inability to sustain a successful‚ lasting relationship due to his career.

Montage in Jean Vigo’s Movies. There are plenty of reasons to call movies of Jean Vigo real masterpieces. One of the most significant is style of his montage. The first feature I would like to recount is contrast which is created with scene change. Best of all it is noticeable in “À Propos de Nice”. We watch wealthy people resting on the beach or in the café‚ and next we see an everyday life of the working class. Another interesting contrast: people having fun on the parade are shown and
