Hollywood montage
The aim of this montage was to show the main and possible things that can happen in a school day and condense it into a short clip. Within the shots you can see what happens at different parts/times of the day during school and the things that you may be talking about during breaks. For example when they are sitting on the wall they are telling each other what their going to be doing on the weekend. The video ended up being good because we showed everything that we was aiming to in the style of a hollywood montage. This type of montage allowed us to make the video very quick because we were able to condense it, instead of having to make an unnecessarily long storyline. Many movies use Hollywood montages and an example would be "Rocky" when he is training for his next fight training in all different kinds of places.
Soviet montage
The aim of the soviet montage was to foreshadow bullying within the school. We managed to do this by showing how the student was being bullied in school at different places and times in the school day. there is part where they are sitting in class and the girls at the back start to throw paper at the girl in front of them. To then link it to the lions we put a picture of three lions ready to eat a buffalo which they had captured, then we showed a video of a lion chasing and then attacking the zebra and eventually eating it. You can understand both clips as the girl and, the buffalo and the zebra were the prey for the lions and in other words "the bullies". We put the two different clips in the video because you can see how they relate to each other and both clips are as bad as each other. This type of montage allows you to link two different types of videos together and be able to see the meaning of the video.
