Phantom Of The Opera Comparison

I think the movie is better than the book because it’s more visual, has more action, and has props.

The costumes were also quite beautiful and wonderfully tailored to each character. The many different

To start off, The Phantom of the Opera, musically composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, arrived in Broadway in 1988 and preformed on the stage of the Majestic Theatre. The Phantom of the Opera tells a the story of young Christine Daae who takes center stage as leading soprano. The opera's supposed phantom cuts the rope, which connects the stage lights, causing the old lead singer to quit after nearly being killed by falling lights. Christine claims to have had lessons from an angle of music that her late father had promised. Unknown, the angle is the supposed phantom. The phantom is just a man named Erik who

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

Above all, I wouldn’t be where I am today without theatre. Without the chance to perform throughout my life, I would be disconnected from the wide array of communities and histories that’s been imbedded in my daily routine. Unfortunately, it’s speculated that the theatre is a dying art form, because of the expanding popularities of movies (“Is”), but I think that it’ll remain a well renowned part of expressing imagination and interpreting history as years pass; it only takes cooperation with school faculty and young students that go above and beyond to change their

The last act was Denee Weathers, she had a guitar player with her and sung her heart out. Her empathy and the strength in her voice was very beautiful and made her act extraordinary. Weathers songs were unique and personalized.

Hamlet is a very well-known play across the world. Many students have been required to read the play in school. Although the poem has been read by many students, student usually don’t further their experience with Hamlet by watching the movie. There are many remakes of the play in movie form, new movies have been evolved since the play was originally made. There are movies that follow the play and the time period of the play and then there are newer or more modern versions of the play. The comparison being made in this paper is, the originally play versus the 2009 movie version of Hamlet.

One of the main magic’s of the theatre is for the audience to go into it unaware of what they will see, and exit with a whole new view in mind. This is still possible in jukebox musicals even if the audience member is familiar with some of the songs. Songs, text, and all literature can be interpreted in different ways based on the individual. Theatre is meant for all different people to enjoy. Some may like going to a show featuring songs that their favorite artists wrote or that speak to a memorable time of their life. It becomes a discussion about how the audience can relate to the characters.

The second way why cinematography made the film is because the camera shots during the film were very close to one other. It did become kind of confusing many times during the film. Now you would see medium shots more than any other one during the film. There were also long shots that were shot alongside the medium shots so long shots would

The directors chosen camera technique, a simple two composition that progresses the scene a steady pace, forces the audience to feel a part of the awkward exchange; obviously, a quality of film that could not be as profoundly achieved through the narrative in the novel.

Since the days of the ancient Greeks, music has been an integral part of drama and theatre. Many composers wrote music to accompany plays, and sometimes the music became more well-known than the play it was written for … It

A novel choice of shots and angles added to the films value. In the scene where Rocket was stuck in the middle of the gang and the police, it was interesting to see how they chose to use a wide shot to capture the gang’s strength in numbers but a long wide shot was used when show how few police there were. The gang looked so

When many people think of The Phantom of the Opera, they think of the popular Broadway musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, Webber had another vision in mind, a film adaptation of his beloved musical that he announced back in 1989. In 2004 that dream became a reality when it was released for the world to enjoy. Still, some lovers of the live performance argue that the film doesn’t have the same feel or emotion that one would get from the play. Although, this adaption doesn’t give the audience the feeling of a live performance, it does give one a unique experience in its direction, music, acting and special effects that no other form can achieve.

There are many unique and innovative techniques used throughout the film. Some were sequencing which are different shots that represent purpose like flashbacks to another time period. Another that was interesting was the use of the newsreel footage. Also the many different angles that were used, and how the lighting and shadows were a big part of the film.

The second vocal ensemble of the night started out with a song which included a twelve bar blues, called “ I use to know you”. This performance consisted of the most combinations of solos of the night as well as using an improvising style. The entire band started all together which led to a Trumpet solo. Then Jose on the Sax did his solo followed by the pianist comping. Then the choir along with the band joined together to lead to a female solo which was particularly interesting since she was scatting. The second performance of this ensemble was “Spring can really hang you up the most” which consisted of 3/4 time and 4/4 time. This started with a female solo vocalist then a male one. The band as a whole played together and ended with a male solo scatting. The third and shortest performance of the night was a vocal acapella piece, “Love walked in” which was short and sweet. The fourth performance of the night was a Richmond Rogers piece. This had a rhythmic swing/salsa feel from the “Lady is a tramp”. This started with the rhythm section, with the male vocalist and horns. Then the female vocalist from the choir joined and concluded this piece. The fifth performance for the group was a sequel to voice stand an acapella piece by Greg Jaspers. This song started with the choir using their voices as the instruments altogether. The final performance of the night was one of
