Would you watch a stage play that's also simultaneously shot like a film so that you can watch the minute expressions on the actors' faces like in movies?
>>221867577pretty cool idea actually
I would watch such a showing once, for the novelty, and then never again.If I go to the theatre, I want to watch the play, not fucking screens.
>>221867577ya but they need to keep the action on the stage and film it from far off thoughthey already do for some plays that i think this just looks like watching a movie set or being in one of those FILMED BEFORE A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE
>>221867577It's an interesting idea. I'd be worried about one of the halves distracting from the other but I'd be tempted to give it a try if it was showing near me.
It's a good idea actually, you could have characters on the stage doing one thing whilst the camera shows another character backstage doing something sneaky the ones on stage don't know about
>>221867577not exactly the same thing, but I thought this was a very interesting film

>>221867577I actually like this. You can't see shit on a stage if you don't have seats right up front.
>>221868067>>221868034This is extremely faithful to christian art. Interesting.
No, stage acting and film acting are two different things and I don't want a fucking cameraman wandering around through the scene at all times
>>221867577Apparently the plot is about a matrix style simulation and the stage and screens can show both layers of reality and simulation at once. Kind of cool
>>221867794oh and im trans by the way.
>>221868428It's loosely based on both Fassbinder's World on a Wire and the novel it was based on, Simulacron-3, and there's another plotline about the Wirecard scandal in Germany.
I'm not really into musicals, but I thoroughly enjoyed Jamie Lloyd's production of Sunset Boulevard, primarily because of how he employed this concept. The gimmick is especially meta given the plot context, which also addressed the concern raised by >>221868230
>>221867577Yes, but not in the way they've done it.In that clip, the camera man's getting in the way and the clapperboard ruins the immersion. So it's more like a live-audience watching a filmshoot.Preferably, you want a stage play with a multicam setup where they have long lenses and are hidden on set or at the edges of the set, with a real-time editor swapping between the cameras being displayed much like when watching a live broadcast.
>>221867577NO, stage is all about live energy and suspense of them making mistakes or not. Bongs do this, like Gillian Anderson play got cheapened this way. Maybe if you watch movie/play while someone gives you a handy.
