Define Ideogram
"The ideogram provides a means for the laconic imprinting of an abstract concept."
A written symbol that represents an idea or object directly
rather than a particular word or speech sound, as a Chinese character

Ideogram Binded to Cinematographic Principle
"Cinematography is, first and foremost, montage."
"Combine shots that are depictive, single in meaning, neutral in content -- into intellectual contexts and series."

Collision or Linkage?

Sergei’s Collision Method•Battleship Potemkin was the film that displayed Sergei’s new age idea of synthetic collisions.
• Sergei would use his collision method by pairing up image and subsequent image. To show the audience what was going on but in a different way.

Together, they form new meaning

Eisenstein Ideogram and Montage
In response to the idea of the ideogram, Eisenstein concluded that montage is “an idea that DERIVES
from the collision between two shots that are independent of one another”.
![Page 16: The cinematographic principle_and_the_ideogram](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b4edc1a28abfa7c8b4852/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The following examples of the hieroglyphs are used by Eisenstein to illustrate a process of meaning generation
which can be adopted by the cinema, in the service of ‘intellectual montage’.
eye + water = crying
door + ear = eavesdroppingchild + mouth = screaming
mouth + dog = barkingmouth + bird = singing knife + heart = anxiety
