Essay One:
Summarize the key points, and illustrate the message with events or examples
from contemporary theatre and cinema that explain Eisenstein’s view.
1.)Eisenstein mentions that film is two things “Primo: Photo fragments of nature are
recorded, Secundo: These fragments are combined in various ways” he states that
both are reflections of what you are seeing. That it takes two main things to grasp
contemporary theatre and cinema.
2.)“The frame is much independently workable then the word or the sound.
Therefore the mutual work of frame and montage is really an enlargement in scale
or process microscopically inherits in all arts. The shot considered as material for
the purpose of composition is more resisted then granted.”
3.)Just like a musician who puts scales together to create a piece, the painted who
uses colors to create something beautiful and the writer who uses words to create a
story film is photos put together with the story behind it and it becomes one major
unit – all the other pieces matter that got it to that point, but it is the big picture that
everyone focuses on. Theatre and cinema are essentially the same, it all depends on
the way that you look at it.
4.)He tries to explain to the readers that he worked his way up the film ladder; he
originally started out with a short comic film “Enough Simplicity in every Sage” from
Ostrovsky.
5.)The Mexican: In every other scene one emotion gave rise to a further emotion,
which in turn was used as a means to affect the audience while the other scenes
influenced the audience through intonation, gestures and mimicry. Our scene
employed realistic even textural means real fighting body’s crashing to the ring of
the floor. The painting, the shine of sweat on torsos and finally the unforgettable
smacking of gloves against taunt skin and strained muscles. Illusionary scenery gave
way to our realistic ring and extras closed the circle around the ring. This explains
how it is relevant to todays cinema and that there is an actual materialistic element
in theater.
