Giga Virtov's The Man with a Movie Camera is a 68-minute experimental silent documentary of the Soviet period of innovative art. Although it has been criticized for its strong experimentality, insufficient emotional depth and over-reliance on technology, it is still of great significance in the current digital media environment. This article believes that the film uses montage to break the linear narrative, integrate different space-time images, and lay the foundation for the modern digital visual information architecture. This core contribution has a far-reaching impact. Nowadays, short video platforms often use montage to attract audiences. In addition, the "Kino-Eye" theory provides a reference for immersive interactive visual perception, and the transparency of the media production shown by the film also enhances the audience's trust. In summary, it not only shapes the current digital media design, but also provides a classic analysis model that emphasizes visual appeal, immersion and transparency for future digital experiences.
