Theatre In Films With Help Of Cinematographic Techniques

Movies can individualize, differentiate the mass, "catch individuals" by the lens to conduct their cross-cutting action through the entire movie. This ability has changed the idea of cinema crowd scenes. In the hands of the filmmaker there are additional resources of expression, which may not be in an opera director in the theater. Cinema allows us to derive the chorus, a mass from the theater boxes, throw the action, and crush it, singling out individuals, features, details, to make "clear changes" with the dynamism and diversity, which could not come up with the most ardent fantasy of a theater director. Success of the film "Eugene Onegin" was a picture of the birthday of Tatiana, revived by dynamics of the editing.

A kaleidoscope of person's provincial Russia flashed before our eyes: lively manor gossips, dashing Petushkov, gallant company commander... All of this colorful and fanciful train of persons in the opera performance sinks into the general crowd. Movie cameras now allow in large size to allocate one, than another group of guests, juicy show episodic characters.
