Man with a Movie Camera (aka The Man with the Movie Camera) (Человек Ñ� киноаппаратом) is a Soviet silent documentary film from 1929. Director Dziga Vertov set out to make a documentary collage of urban life in the Soviet Union. He filmed regular people going about their daily routines in the cities of Kharkov, Kiev, and Odessa (all in Ukraine), capturing daily life from dawn to dusk. As the film notes in the opening title cards (the only ones in the movie), it is "an experimental film" made "without the help of a story".The film is notable for its incredibly innovative use of every Camera Trick in the book, as well as the radical use of Montage and other inventive editing techniques often at an incredibly fast pace that approaches subliminal. No other film in The Roaring '20s looked like this—really no other film ever made looks like this one.Available online on many sites, including YouTube. | |

Stop Motion: This is used to make a tripod stand up, whereupon a camera gets out of its box and gets on the tripod, and the tripod walks away. A crawfish on a plate at a seafood restaurant is made to appear to crawl away. | |

Recursive Reality: The film opens with an audience assembling in the theater. Sure enough, at the end they are shown watching Man with a Movie Camera. The closest thing to a character the film has is the titular man with the movie camera, who is shown filming everything that's onscreen. At one point the film stops and goes through a series of freeze-frames. This is shown to be because the editor took a break. In another sequence the editor clips together some footage, and that footage then plays. | |

Montage | |
| Man with a Movie Camera / int_9b1da792 | comment |
Montage: The whole film is a series of montages. This webpage demonstrates a few. One use of montage cuts from a poster showing a person making a "shh" signal to a live shot of a woman sleeping. Another demonstrates the process of editing, as the raw footage is shown, the editor is shown cutting the film, and the resultant footage plays in the movie. | |

Split Screen: Many times. Sometimes mismatched shots of trolleys are put up in split-screen, with one coming and one going. Another shot shows a large urban square, which then splits in half, with the left side turning clockwise and the right side turning counterclockwise. | |

Contrast Montage | |
| Man with a Movie Camera / int_e3277b30 | comment |
Contrast Montage: Over and over again throughout the movie. In one sequence, young women washing their faces and hair and getting makeup applied is contrasted with buildings being cleaned and laundry being done, and a woman's eyes blink in time with some shutters—implying that the city is a living organism that wakes up as a person does. Frivolous or leisure activities are contrasted with work. A man getting a shave is intercut with an axe being sharpened. | |
