Well, as Vertov argued, the whole process of film making is editorial from start to finish, but that's surely different from what we understand as montage, at least in Eisenstein's sense of the term?

The first Lumiere arguably has two instances of montage: the
decision made about the points of time at which to start and stop filming.
And both seem carefully considered choices.

''Which principles do I have to bear in mind?''
One principle-Montage.
The stuff Cinema is made of.
Because films ARE made of clashing frames.

I don't know where you live, but I know a great
resource in Brooklyn is the public access
channel. If you take an orientation and a class
there (for under $100) you get to use
their equipment. I imagine a lot of
other cities have a similar set-up. That
way you can try out a few different types of
cameras, although it's possible that they will
be out of date. I personally don't care about
that. For me, just holding a camera and seeing a
frame really changed how I thought about
shooting. Good luck!

Dear all,
I decided to start making my
own films. Which camera
shall I buy? Which
principles do I have to bear in
mind?
Any advice welcome.
Many many thanks,
