Practically speaking, the artistic maturing of the cinema was the single-handed achievement of David W. Griffith(1875-1948). Before Griffith, photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage. From the beginning of his career as a director, however, Griffith, because of his love of Victorian painting, employed composition. He conceived of the camera image as having a foreground and a rear ground, as well as the middle distance preferred by most directors. By 1910, he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting and extreme long shots to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance. His appreciation of the camera’s possibilities produced novel dramatic effects. By splitting an event into fragment and recording each from the most suitable camera position, he could significantly vary the emphasis form camera shot to camera shot.
Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing. By juxtaposing images and varying the speed and rhythm of their presentation, he could control the dramatic intensity of the events as the story progressed. Despite the reluctance of his producers, who feared that the public would not be able to follow such a story, Griffith persisted and experimented as well with other elements which have become standard ever since.
Besides developing the cinema’s language, Griffith immensely broadened its range and treatment of subjects. His early movies included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also such novelties as adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatment of social issues. As his success mounted, his ambitions grew. When he made a new movie in 1991, he insisted that a subject of importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel. One of his movies reached the unprecedented length of four reels, or one hour’s running time. Griffith’s introduction of the American-made multi-reel picture began an immense revolution. [br] It can be inferred that Griffith would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements?
选项
A、The good director will attempt to explore new ideas as quickly as possible.
B、The most important element contributing to a film’s success is the ability of the actors.
C、The camera should be considered an integral and active element in the creation of a film.
D、The cinema should emphasize serious and sober examinations of fundamental human problems.
答案
A
解析
根据文章内容可知,格里菲斯对电影事业做出了巨大的开创性贡献,所以他应该赞同“好的导演应该努力尽可能领先地追求新思想”的观点。其他三项表述与原文内容相去甚远,意思分别为:电影成功与否最重要的因素取决于演员的能力;一定要把摄像机视为电影创作必不可少的积极要素;电影应该突出强调对人类最基本的问题进行严肃清醒的反思。据此判断,答案是A。
