Assess students' understanding of montage techniques and their ideological function in early Soviet cinema by testing identification and analysis of key editing principles (Kuleshov effect; metric, rhythmic, tonal, intellectual/associational montage), comparison of Kuleshov's experimental approach with Eisenstein's theoretical and practical use of montage, and evaluation of how editing conveyed revolutionary ideas in representative sequences (e.g., Kuleshov experiments, Strike, The Battleship Potemkin); include short-answer identification, close-scene formal analysis, and a brief comparative essay on political implications and audience effect.
