Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of short shots are edited into a sequence to condense space, time, and information. It was introduced to cinema primarily by Sergei Eisenstein, and early Soviet directors used it as a synonym for creative editing. An example of montage editing is when they show someone's life in the space of a few minutes. Unlike invisible editing, it uses close-ups, relatively frequent shots, dissolves, fades and jump cuts.
