Art: drawings, illustrations, photographs, or the like that have been cut in various shapes and sizes and pasted on an artboard at different angles to each other or overlapped so that the combination presents an individual impression or tells a story. Montages are used as murals and for special effects in print advertisements.

Television production: series of images shown in rapid succession, used to effect a particular mood or to suggest a chain of events or the passage of time.

Radio production: series of sounds blended together in sequence and used in the same manner as a television montage.

In art, making one composition by combining parts or the whole of other pictures, objects, or designs. In film, a stylized form of editing that provides a great deal of information in a short time. For example, the passing of years may be rendered by mixing shots of different seasons with shots of calendar pages turning.
