The film editing technique that is used at several defining moments in films dates back to 1898.

Sergei Eisenstein was the one to create a new form called 'montage of attractions' - in which images are chosen and then carefully placed sequentially not in chronology, but in a way that would create larger psychological impact thus communicating his idea to the audience. 
Along with his work on defining motion picture, director Sergei Eisenstein contributed to 'realistic' film-making depicting the struggle of downtrodden workers against the ruling class.

His notable work, Battleship Potemkin, made on the Revolution of 1905 is widely known as one of the masterpieces in world cinema even today. The film among several other works of Sergei Eisenstein is often termed as the best understanding of the art of motion pictures.
