Play Vs Movie Essay

With any comparison between a play and its movie counterpart there are bound to be major differences and key similarities between

“Men and women can't be friends, because sex always gets in the way”, is the main theme of the movie “When Harry met Sally”. The script is a good example of the interpersonal communication ten stage model by Mark Knapp. This developmental model entails the stages of a relationship from it’s infancy to an ending. In the movie we can clearly identify all ten stages of this model.

The differences are the following: First, in the play, you can see the emotions, feelings and expressions of the characters in the film. Since Shakespeare’s play is written between 1590 and 1597, the English language used was deep and hard to understand for the present people. But with the character’s action and delivery, the viewers were able to understand it easily. Titania, who is played by Michelle Pfeiffer, said

differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and

In order to compare and contrast the play to the movie,first I will discuss the play .In the play there is a character named Romeo.Lovely Romeo wanted to marry Juliet and stay with her in Verona,Italy.But

In the play Romeo was a little different than in the movie. In the play, Romeo cried over Rosaline and in the movie he did not physically cry. He just played pool and smoked instead of crying. Also in the movie, Romeo and his friends were always hanging out on the beach while in the play they didn’t. Also in the play, Romeo seemed more mature and adultlike than in the movie. Also in the play you kind of get the picture that the Capulets and the Montagues have the same toughness and intelligence but in the movie the Capulets and their friends are more reserved and mature than the Montagues.

I will say this I may not be great at understanding the (modern English?) dialect but I did realize that the movie cut out lines and parts of the actually play. He (Branagh the movie director) also left out offensive references that are in the actual play. I think in comparison that movies are focused on visuals, surroundings and the lead in to a scene. This takes more time where the play does not. If the movie had done every thing just like the play and still held true to their camera attractions think the movie would have been twice as long. Another thing I found to vary between the play and the movie is that the movie is great in having close ups and all of that, but because of this you don?t get to see the rest of the scene at the same time, like the background acting. Sometimes it is good to see everything that is going on in a room or courtyard, rather than just seeing 2 minutes of a person?s face. Also it degrades the actors full involvement such as body movement and mannerisms when you only see their face.

Comparing a play to its movie adaptation is something that is hard to do since there is no tangible way a person can capture the original then change it to make the movie version of it up to par to the original. From the original play of A Midsummer’s Night Dream that was created by Shakespeare in the movie version of it created by Michael Hoffman, there are many similarities and differences that are in the movie some are very stark while others are very subtle differences.

Comparing the movie to the film, it follows the same concept although there is a ton of differences. First off, they have a fake wedding inside of a dress shop in the movie and in the play the couple gets secretly married, but it’s still the real deal. A big thing that I noticed is the death situation compared to the play, in the play Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, which leads Romeo to drink poison because he doesn’t think Juliet loves him, which causes Juliet to commit suicide using his

Rent  is a 2005 American film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which was based on Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning musical. The movie depicts the lives of several Bohemians and their struggles with sexuality, cross-dressing, drugs, life under the shadow of AIDS, and paying their rent. It takes place in the East Village of New York City in the late 1980s.

Movie acting is different than stage acting because they have to be prepared to cut scenes out and from couple different angles and voice directly into the camera. The actors only learn the lines from the scene they are doing at the time instead of knowing them all. It is also not shot in the order it is seen in because they don’t want to be going back and forth from location to location, so they shoot all the scenes that is needed at a certain location. They also have to take more than one shot per scene because maybe they want different angles or someone may have messed up. A perfect example of movie vs. stage acting is the scene where Stanley yells out STELLA! Because he harmed her so she left with Eunice and he goes after her to apologize but has to get her attention by screaming her name out until she came out to talk to him. This scene must have been much easier for the film because the director and actors don’t have to worry about messing up they can just retake a scene and they can adjust it to their desire. While stage acting the actors have to deal with an audience watching their every move and if they mess up they don’t have another chance. Maybe the actor didn’t project their voice enough for everyone to hear them. They also might lose their voice from the very intense screaming. As well as forgetting a line on stage and embarrassing

Many actors strengthen their skills through acting. Actors who do not have a college degree may take acting or film classes to learn their craft. Community colleges, acting conservatories, and private film schools typically offer these classes. Some steps into becoming an actor are:

The thought that is running through all our heads when we are in English class is, can 't we just watch the movie? The answer is no, we can 't just watch the movie because the book has many major details that the movie does not include. For our age, reading the book will have a major impact on our life ahead, how we look at the world, and how we look at others. Some of us may be unhappy that we are reading the book and not just watching the movie, but we need to realize, that not only with The Hobbit but with all movies, they are vastly different from the books.

Movies are one of the biggest entertainment sources for anyone in the world, and for the same reason

One of which is the type of performance. Theater is known for performances that are unedited and raw, therefore actors have to rehearse the script frequent numbers of times in order to avoid bloopers. During play the most focus is on actors and acting, rather than visuals; the stage cannot be edited or enhanced. In stage acting, actors have to deal with a lot of stress they have to be stage ready no matter what. Actors have to have oratory skill as well since they have to perform in front of the crowd. However, when it comes to creating movies actors are allowed to have bloopers, since it is possible to edit it out. Actors do not have to rehearse the script as many as theater actors do. Actors of film are performing in front of the camera, not the live audience. Filmmaking is focused a lot on the visually in order to make it look more attention-capturing. Movies are enhanced visually and can have special
