Trucco del montaggio

[thehaggis555]

Hello all,

Please could you help with this phrase, 'trucco del montaggio'. It is talking about the development of a cinematic special effect, but I can't understand exactly what it refers to, whether editing, cutting, montage or assembly etc.

The exact phrase is:

A cominciare da Méliès, che scoprì il “trucco del montaggio”...

Thanks so much!

It probably refers to "editing tricks" purportedly invented by Georges Méliès.
