Montage: A Cinematic Technique That Packs a Punch with Leonardo-ai

Montage is a cinematic technique that uses a series of short scenes to convey emotion, time, or a story arc. It’s a powerful tool that can be used to compress time, show a character’s journey, or build suspense. Some famous examples of montage include the training montage in ‘Rocky,’ the montage of the ‘American Dream’ in ‘The Godfather,’ and the montage of the ‘Titanic’ sinking in ‘Titanic.’ These montages are all effective because they use a combination of visuals, music, and editing to create a powerful emotional impact.
