Visual media borrows it to refer to the pictorial technique in which cut—out illustrations and fragments are re-arranged, producing a new composite picture with several different images. Literary field applies this artistic technique as a vehicle to create works, especially for stream-of-consciousness fiction which flourished in the early 20 thcentury. This article turns to account for the similarity of montage and literature to divide the writing technique into narrative montage and space montage and dissect the montage use in William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury which is distinguished by its space-skipping and mixed-expression.展开更多

Specifically, given a movie and a piece of music as the guidance, our method aims to generate a montage out of the movie that is emotionally consistent with the music. Unlike previous work such as video summarization, this task requires not only video content understanding, but also emotion analysis of both the input movie and music. To this end, we propose a two-stage framework, including a learning-based module for the prediction of emotion similarity and an optimization-based module for the selection and composition of candidate movie shots. The core of our method is to align and estimate emotional similarity between music clips and movie shots in a multi-modal latent space via contrastive learning. Subsequently, the montage generation is modeled as a joint optimization of emotion similarity and additional constraints such as scene-level story completeness and shot-level rhythm synchronization. We conduct both qualitative and quantitative evaluations to demonstrate that our method can generate emotionally consistent montages and outperforms alternative baselines.展开更多

This chromatic framework for quantum movies （CFQM） integrates chromatic components of individual frames （each a multi-channel quantum image - MCQI state） that make up the movie, while each frame is tagged to a time component of a quantum register （i.e., a movie strip）. The formulation of the CFQM framework and properties inherent to the MCQI images facilitate the execution of a cortege of carefully formulated transformations including the frame-to-frame （FTF）, color of interest （COI）, and subblock swapping （SBS） operations that are not realizable on other quantum movie formats. These innovative transformations are deployed in the creation of digital movie-like montages on the CFQM framework. Future studies could explore additional MCQI-related operations and their use to execute more advanced montage applications.展开更多
