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

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.
