When the Lumiere brothers showed the public the first shots of their film, they could not imagine that soon their brainchild would turn into the most beloved amusement of mankind. Quiet films, cartoons, sound films, commercials, documentaries, series - cinema has grown and evolved over the years. There are special effects, computer graphics, digital drives are increasingly replacing the film.
Progress does not stand still, and all transformations are only for the benefit of the modern film industry.
Fans of cinematography zealously discuss new products and world masterpieces in the forums of movie sites and blogs. Everyone considers himself a connoisseur and a great film critic. Fans of screen works were divided into two camps. Some are convinced that feature films are brilliant creations of art and uneven to their multi-part brothers. Others are willing to argue that the popular series here sometimes surpass their notorious rivals. To convince admirers of widescreen works the opposite, it is enough to cite a few compelling reasons for multi-part opus.
First, I want to note the timing. “The film should last as long as the bladder can withstand,” - with this phrase, the famous Alfred Hitchcock defined the time frame of modern cinema. But alas, few people are guided by this parting word at the present time, only, perhaps, masters of serial films. Indeed, one episode in most cases lasts from twelve to sixty minutes. This time is enough to not get tired of what is happening on the screen and not look at the clock. Even on a short lunch break, you can relax while watching your favorite series. The first plus in favor of multi-part works is the length of the episodes. will not be an exception, they will save the time of any viewer.
The next positive thing is the script. It’s hard to imagine a volume from the Song of Ice and Fire series in one film. The viewer would see the action taking place in a continuous set of frames that briefly tell the stories of Westerosa, Winterfell and other fantasy lands created by George Martin. But thanks to the multi-part format, the scriptwriters managed to put together the amazing story of one book in a whole season.
If you touch on the topic of comics, you can write a scientific treatise of five hundred pages. Of course, the Avengers, Spider-Man, Batman and Superman in the movie are great for a wide audience, but for fans of graphic novels it's a drop in the bucket. Film studios do not have such resources to release a film about superheroes every year, while taking as their basis new stories, and not a hackneyed plot changed in a restart. And television studios are able to introduce the viewer to the entire universe of Marvel and DiSi. Before their appearance on television, few ordinary people knew Green Arrow, Flash, Super-Girl, Daredevil, Jessica Jones. Scriptwriters and directors managed to smoothly transfer each issue of the comic to the screen. The second positive trifle in the piggy bank series - timekeeping allows you to fully embody the history of the original work, without missing details.
The third point is the atmosphere. It is great that in the modern world there are such online cinemas as "Seasonar".
I wanted to feel like a space wanderer, you open the science fiction section and after a second enjoy the fourth season of the Star Cruiser Galaxy or plow open spaces with the Star Trek team. There was an irresistible desire to be in the role of a detective - easy! You can choose: the charming Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, and the team of FBI agents in Thinking Like a Criminal. But for those who like to tickle their nerves, the choice is wide from The Walking Dead to The Exorcist.
The mood for every taste. Especially if the viewer aims to sit at the screen, for example, on a Saturday evening. The season of the series fully satisfy his needs, rather than a couple of different films of the same theme, you do not need to adapt to new characters and plot. Another positive point is a few hours with your favorite characters and a pleasant atmosphere.
The fourth important fact in favor of the series is the waiting time. Yes, sometimes waiting for a new season or episode is very annoying. But to suffer a week or six months, this is not to hope for the release of a sequel or prequel from three to ten years. All people understand that to create a masterpiece, in addition to the budget, you need a good story, rewritten a thousand times under the strict guidance of the producer. Also, actors sometimes ask for incredible fees.
On TV, things are simpler. An excellent series "Lucifer", promoted by the famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer, under the auspices of which came out such paintings as "Pirates of the Caribbean". Yes, here you will not see the Hollywood stars, but each series can compete with many full-length brothers. And nothing that has to wait seven days, and sometimes even longer than the release of the next episode, but it's worth it. Another positive feature is that the wait does not last forever.
And finally, about the quality and stars of the big screen. The modern media industry can delight the audience with amazing special effects and famous artists. What is Sir Anthony Hopkins worth of in "The World of the Wild West" and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in "Football Players". And Russian actors, Eugene Mironov and Konstantin Khabensky are not afraid to appear on small screens.
No matter how opponents of the multi-part format try to convince their opponents, they are unlikely to succeed. Thanks to modern technology, true connoisseurs can always open the page of a familiar site and find adorable TV shows . Nobody will forbid them to watch online and enjoy the true masterpieces of television masters. They are sure that one day even the most notorious followers of a feature film will also go over to their side. They just haven't found their show yet.
