FILMS AND THEATRE: A FORM OF ART



Films is also known as art film or art cinema. It includes high quality motion pictures produced by recording pictures from around the world. Cinematography is the discipline of making lighting and camera choices when recording photographic images for the cinema. It is closely related to the art of still photography, though they are not the same.  Creative, business, and technological reasons have all contributed to the growth of the film scene in the late 20th and early 21st century.

            On contrary to the films which is shot in many goes, the theater form of art is one which is performed live on stage before live audience. It may include combination of dance, gestures, speech or music. The specific place of the performance is also named by the word "theatre" as derived from the Ancient Greek θέατρον (théatron, “a place for viewing”) and θεάομαι (theáomai, “to see", "to watch", "to observe”). These days theater has been diminished yet Classical forms of theatre, including Greek and Roman drama, classic English drama including Shakespeare and Marlowe and French theater including Molière is still performed today. In addition, performances of classic Eastern forms such as Noh and Kabuki can be found in the West, although with less frequency.

            The types of theatre are musical theatre, comedy, tragedy, drama etc. “The Hamlet” is masterpiece of tragedy of Shakespear. Musical theatre is the combination of music, theatre, dance and dialogue.  Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, "musicals". When humor is used as a medium to tell a story then it is called as comedy. “As you like it” is a wonderful example of such classical comedy play. Tragedy is based on human suffering and pain thereby giving a moral to the viewers.
