The Kuleshov effect is one of the great discoveries in the history of cinema, Lev Kuleshov a Soviet film maker was one of the first to dissect and analyze the emotion effect of visual montage and juxtaposition. Lev Kuleshov was an early Soviet director, possibly one of the first film theorists of montage, who worked prior to Eisenstein's appearance in film. He said editing should make people think, not just see what they see. In the early 20th century, Russian filmmaker and theorist Lev Kuleshov discovered that a single shot of an actor with an ambiguous expression on his face could convey a multitude of very distinct meanings in the mind of the viewer, depending on the nature of the shot immediately preceding it.

By the time he came to make his most famous and best film, By the Law, it was no surprise he turned to another American, Jack London, for his inspiration.

Montage is a synonym for a form of editing which was practiced by Soviet filmmakers Lev Kuleshov, Vesvolod Pudovkin, Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein around the 1920s at the Kuleshov school of film-making. Although Lev Kuleshov was the first to experiment with Montage, Eisenstein argued that the collision between two adjoining images creates a third meaning. In 1918 he conducted his famous experiment (below) using a single shot of the silent film actor Ivan Mozzhukhin's face looking at something off-camera.
