- Decoupage taken to mean the shot compositions, camera angles and movement, versus montage which is simply the art of cutting film and joining it together again - example: Barnard says the chief strengths of Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" derive from its rigorous decoupage techniques whereas the chief strength of Welles' "Chimes at Midnight" (or "The Trial") derive from its unique montage, or editing style.
