Directed by Dziga Vertoc, ‘Man with a Movie Camera,’ is a 1929 one of a kind film. The movie is revolved around one day in the urban life in a Russian city. The movie does not include any actors, or an actual narrative, story. ‘Man with a Movie Camera’ basically follows a passionate camera man and his camera; the man himself is somewhat brave given the danger he puts himself through in order to get a specific shot. It is all about the different ways of making a film, and the techniques required.

The movie is a depiction of the soviet world using “an experimentation in the cinematic communication without the use of intertitles, without the help of scenario, without the help of theatre,” quoted by Jocelyn Stelzer.

An important element on the movie is the way the scenes develop and the montage done on it. The movie is made up of two different types of montage, one being series editing and the other being collision editing.

Series editing is a way of shortening time by only showing the most important details taking place one after the other to help the progression of the story. In the movie, the man was often shown carrying the camera then the shot quickly moved onto the next point where the man finds the perfect spot for filming, such editing is what gave the movie a unique touch.

Another special thing about the movie, was the morning scene of a woman who appears to have just woken up and washing her face then all of a sudden shifting to water cleaning off a pole. This
