The notion of assembly is used with reference to the act and result of assembly . This verb (assemble) has several meanings: in this case we are interested in its meaning as the action of assembling and/or adjusting the pieces or elements of something .
Let's take the case of a machine . Its assembly will consist of installing its various components in the appropriate way, following the manufacturer's instructions. Something similar can be said about a piece of furniture to assemble: assembly involves placing each piece in its place.
Precisely, furniture is one of the products that is most marketed with the option of home assembly . On the one hand, they offer a more convenient way to purchase large products, since their volume before assembly is considerably smaller. This is ideal for those who do not have a vehicle or even for homes with doors and windows that are too narrow to accommodate large furniture.
Assembling furniture is not always easy, but a manual is included in the box with all the steps explained graphically. If this were not enough, depending on the popularity of the product we have purchased, it is very likely that we will find free help on the Internet, both in a forum and in videos where we can see other people carrying out the assembly correctly.
In the field of factories and industries , the production process that is carried out in continuous and successive stages is called an assembly line or assembly line . Its theoretical principles are found in Taylorism .
In the field of cinema and television, meanwhile, editing involves choosing and adjusting the various shots of a film . It is about ordering and joining the recorded fragments with the aim of shaping the final version of the audiovisual product. In some cases, filmmakers have the opportunity to re-release their films by including certain scenes that were left out of the original version due to budget constraints.
The production is developed respecting a script , although without leaving aside the director's main idea. This arrangement gives a certain specific dynamic to the work.
When filming a movie , it is common for several takes of each scene to be taken. That's why editing requires opting for the best shots and linking them appropriately.
A photographic montage , finally, is achieved by combining two or more photographs . Thus, the result of the montage transcends a single one, since different images are mixed.
One of the most common objectives of photographic montage is the location of an object or subject in a different setting than that seen in the original image. This process can present several challenges, especially if the quality of the material is not very good.
For example, if we find a photograph that we took at a party and we want to change the background to a Caribbean beach, it will probably cost us more work than if we took one on a solid-color background that contrasts appropriately with those of our clothing. In addition to colors, lighting plays a very important role: the brighter it is, the easier it will be to eliminate the scene.
In popular language we also talk about montage to refer to certain unbelievable situations that we see on television, among other media, and that we assume have been orchestrated to generate a particular reaction in the public. For example, some fights or strong arguments are usually scripted to spark debate and get more people interested in the program in which they are presented.
