Answer:
One major difference between theater and film is related to the delivery of the performances. Shooting a film involves the use of several cameras. Using different cameras ensures that images can be seen clearly in close-up or from any angle in the same way by every audience member. Similarly, actors can be seen and heard clearly by using different camera angles and shots. Therefore, film directors are free to focus on the nuances of the story, rather than considering the audibility or visibility of actors. They need not be concerned about projecting the voices or the physical presence of actors. In a theater, live actors are separated from the audience by a physical space, which can be anywhere between 10 to 200 feet, or even more. Therefore, even though theaters are equipped with speakers and actors have microphones, the actors have to project their voices so that they can be heard across a long distance. They must also express high emotions in exaggerated ways so that the impact is carried in their voices and seen in their actions and movements. The director must train the actors to emote strongly. The director must also be sure to block their actions so that they face the audience and speak loudly when they deliver dialogue.
Another difference between theater and film is the extent of the director’s involvement. A director’s role in a play ends when the play is performed live in front of an audience. Although directors in theater are involved from the start all the way through the rehearsals, there’s no role for them in live theater performances. In contrast, film directors begin their most important work in the production and the postproduction stage, in the editing rooms. They make critical decisions about which scenes to include or cut. They also decide on other aspects of a film, such as the focus of the shots, sequencing, pacing, duration, music, and so on.
