A montage is an editing technique developed by Soviet Film-makers in the 1920's such as Pudovkin, Vertov and Eisenstein to play out a longer sequence of time into a shot clip. By using a montage a lot of time in a film can be saved by compressing a large amount of time into a much shorter clip. A big of example of a montage is in Rocky III.
In this clip, the film-maker decided to compress a long training process into a shot clip. This is used to show the audience the training very quickly and effectively. The clip contains inspirational music to emphasise the training Rocky had to go through.
