On the differences between the art of film and the art of animation

In my opinion, regarding the differences between movie art and animation art, there are two obvious differences. One is the difference in the form of acting, that is, the interpretation of real people and artificial creation interpretation; the other is the difference in the production process, that is, the art of film also includes the art of dress, make-up, photography and so on, while the animation art focuses more on the art of modification or emphasizes the application of some 3D technology.

Leaving aside these obvious differences, I think the difference in the way the main idea is expressed is the main difference.

In the art of cinema, a director narrates a story through a live-action performance. Since it is a live action interpretation, it tends to be more subtle in the expression of ideas. The main difference between human beings and other animals is that human beings have expressions and feelings, and are often happy or angry. Because of this, the art of film emphasizes the interpretation of the actor's acting skills, a smile, a look, a sentence, can contain a very profound meaning. Because of this, some things do not have to show very directly, most directors often want to express the meaning of their own contained in it rather than directly in front of the people, they more hope that the audience to experience the taste of their own taste, and even some things can not be expressed in words, so for the art of film, the God is the focus.

In contrast, the animation art of the expression of the idea of the main purpose of the direct more. Animation in the more artificial means, it should be said for the whole artificial product. Because of the lack of elusive and speculative live expression of real people, there is a lack of a sense of reality, a sense of nature. Even if the animation technology is more advanced, but also can not completely copy the human emotional expression, even if you can simulate the human form, but the mood can never be simulated, because only the living real people have feelings and emotions. And because of this, to convey a meaning to the public, you need to do it through words or something more straightforward.

But the art of animation has the distinct advantage of showing what the maker is thinking. Of course, I mean the non-main idea, such as a beautiful scene, a special shot, a difficult action ...... This is why animation technology is now more and more used in the art of film, it can produce a specific special needs, the reality of the special effects can not be achieved.

In short, the art of film and the art of animation, there are always differences and their respective superiority, which is precisely as two different things exist in the world and so generally welcomed by the public.

The above is purely an opinion, heh. (
