Film for Education in Sustainable Development: Using the Intellectual Montage as a useful Editing Tool

Abstract

An essential step in the post-production procedure for developing a narrative flow is video editing. 
The director of a film has a vision for the movie before it is even shot. Post-production, however, 
is where that vision is put together and given life. The principles and techniques used in video 
editing vary. In this paper, the usage of Sergei Eisenstein's intellectual montage theory will be 
highlighted. This theory illustrates the use of separate shots to imply a different meaning. This 
notion is effectively illustrated by the Kuleshov effect. It was quite important for comprehending 
how certain shot sequences influence an audience psychologically. In light of this, the Kuleshov 
effect can be used to effectively convey the proper message when the intellectual montage theory 
serves as a solid foundation. In educating an audience about sustainable development, it should go 
beyond just creating an informative piece. While making a visually appealing motion picture, it is 
imperative to keep the viewer engaged. The audience will then be able to assimilate these hardhitting topics. Montages allow the director to maintain the flow while focusing just on the necessary 
elements that are to be emphasised.
