Otryvok montažnoj frazy iz 6-j časti fil'ma Čelov. s kinoapparatom
Diagram decoding a so-called 'montage phrase' into quantitive units. On the vertical axis the motifs (described as: "participators") are listed from 1-9, e.g. 1. "headlights", 2. "tram", 3. "people". On the horizontal axis the sequence of shots from 1-41 are noted. The fields that result in the grid are designated with numbers from 0-8. For the motifs 6,7,12,15 the word "pauza" [pause] is entered over a large area. On the right handside a row with comments, signed with "Dz. Vertov."
Classification: Handwritten Diagram or Document
Type: Notes
Date: 1928 (?)
Original / Reproduction: Original
Comments: A very interesting item, showing one of Vertov's numerous attempts to treat film as a countable, formalised entity. It remains unclear whether or not the diagram was made before shooting, or only after completion - which might be indicated by its allocation to Part 6 of the film as stated in the title. See also document for the 4th part with the title "Otryvok montažnoj frazy iz 4-j časti fil'ma Čelov. s kinoapparatom".
