Description
Montage is key to the MIA’s framework, as the intentional arrangements of the storytelling in one of its many possibilities.
Montage is the practice of editing the parts of a whole to achieve a specific representation. For instance, we all edit a text to avoid repetitions, as well as to clarify and give consistency to its sections. Rhetorics, as a long-established competency, is very much based on the intentional and purposeful arrangement of established structures by means of a set of dedicated rules.
Montage is one of the 5 lessons part of the MIA course. These can be engaged in any order, even independently!, yet I would advise to follow this order: first Storytelling, then Aesthetics and Composition, and, finally, Montage and Storyboarding. As mentioned, you can equally work on these 5 as self-standing lessons or complement them according to your liking.
MIA stands for the Meta-Image App, and this is the thoroughly enhanced version of the App that the Quintin Hogg Trust generously funded while I was leading the Digital and Interactive Storytelling LAB at the University of Westminster in London, UK. MIA has been translating my expertise as a professional photographer and university professor into a consequential course to introduce foundational competencies in storytelling practices including key components in visual literacy, and it continues to evolve to respond to the latest requirements of today’s digital cultures.
