1. Essay One: Summarize the key points, and illustrate the message with events or examples from contemporary theatre and cinema that explain Eisenstein’s view. Group One Andrea, Kyle, Ngozi, Sejin, Nicole, Stefan, Saulo
2. Point One 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.
3. Point Two “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.”
4. Point Three 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.
5. Point Four 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.
6. Point Five 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.
