What is this? In 2024 I completed my Master of Arts (Editing) at AFTRS. This is the research component of that degree. Now, read on!

Introduction

1.1 Why?

Let’s kick things off by asking why several times over.

Start the whole thing with an intro video?

– why this question

– why me

– why now

interstellar him watching montage, use those shots in your intro video – why coudlnt’ you just do the whole movie as a montage? well all things in moderation, I guess

below as a reference to include in your why

1.2 Sports Movies

New sections in menu:

history of montage, contextualise American vs soviet, scope of this research, hone in on what I mean by “sports movies” and “training montages” eg character skill development in a single scene montage, not a transition – sports dramas, less sports comedies (explain why in gymmicks section?), and yes i’m including based on real life biopics, which have been around almost as long as sports movies in Hollywood

maybe a video about history of sports movies, and text about honing in on training montages – acknowledge other montages eg the recruitment montage (in-text example) or the on the road being successful and winning sgame montage (maybe League of Their Own?)

1.3 The American Montage
