MORALES MORANTE, Luis Fernando. Montage or Editing: Design and Classification Model Based on Communication Objectives. anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.14, pp.133-141. ISSN 1692-2522.

The origin of the word ''montage'' comes from engineering and indicates the process of building machinery and ships. Through the influence of theatre, such term is later used to speak about the last stage of the filmic process. As for 'editing', the word is more recent and is restricted to video and television fields. Despite the functionality of the existing definitions, the concept makes us think about a strictly technical-operating exercise. In the following paper, we reflect on the nature and definitions of 'staging' and 'editing', their fields of creative application and meaning construction. Finally, we also approach the best way how their procedures and resources can improve the rhetoric of audiovisual messages.

Keywords : Montage; editing; audiovisual message; discourse.
