What are the similarities and differences between movies and TV plays?

Movies are shot on film, and TV plays are shot on videotape.

I think the difference in narrative style is mainly due to the length of time.

The length of TV series is long (generally 20 or 30 episodes), the narrative can be clear, the story can be explained clearly, the characters are portrayed carefully, and the plot setting can make great efforts. But when you meet a junk director, what comes out is a junk TV series, just like a running account. Nowadays, many domestic TV dramas are generally like this. Not as good as the advertisement in the middle.

The film lasts for two or three hours at most and revolves around one or two events. This will test the director's skill, so now the more famous directors are all film directors? ! ~ ~ Sometimes the director is still blocked by time, and things are unclear and full of loopholes. So there was a sequel, the most famous of which was The Godfather. Of course, Infernal Affairs is becoming more and more popular in China.

1. Different concepts and attributes

Film is an art category born in the 20th century. With modern science and technology as the means, with pictures and sounds as the media, the art of creating pictures and images in moving time and space, reflecting and expressing real life and thoughts and feelings. Generally speaking, film is a comprehensive art that combines art and technology, and film is also a synthesis of various artistic elements. Moreover, film is an audio-visual art developed from pure visual art, and montage is the most basic and unique artistic expression of film. The magic of the film includes not only the combination relationship between shots, but also the combination relationship between pictures and sounds, sounds and sounds, thus forming various organized fragments and scenes until a complete film is made. Movies can also be called space-time art, which has the properties of both time art and space art, and can directly attract the audience's vision and hearing in various forms of space-time combination, and reproduce the space-time relationship in the material world. The world on the screen is a special space-time complex. Film is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of all kinds of artists, and the director is the center of film production. He must carry out comprehensive design and overall conception according to the script of film literature, fully mobilize the creativity of various arts and technologies, and jointly complete film creation.

TV plays

A form of drama specially designed to be played on a television screen. Compatible with film, drama, literature, music, dance, painting, plastic arts and other factors, it is a highly comprehensive art, and TV series is an artistic style that adapts to the characteristics of TV broadcasting and integrates the performance methods of stage and film art. Generally, there are single dramas and series (TV series).

2. The media is different.

Movies are generally wide-screen cinemas, and TV plays are generally home TV. Movies are shot on film, and TV plays are shot on videotape.

3 Different audio-visual effects.

The visual effect of movies is very good, because its imaging generally adopts 16-bit system, and some high-definition even reaches 32-bit, while TV dramas generally can't achieve this effect because TV adopts 8-bit system. Therefore, its color is very single, far less colorful than the film. Movies generally use surround sound, but TV plays don't have this effect.

4. Different narrative arrangements.

The length of TV series is long (generally 20 or 30 episodes), the narrative can be clear, the story can be explained clearly, the characters are portrayed carefully, and the plot setting can make great efforts. The film lasts for two or three hours at most and revolves around one or two events.

The key to the difference between TV and movies lies in the storage medium.

Traditional TV should be "tape preaching" and traditional film is "movie preaching". I'm talking about tradition. Older films are all made of film, and the film quality is different. Generally speaking, the films made by film are not clear, but now the film technology is relatively mature, so I won't feel this way, just like TV.

Traditional TV is magnetic tape, so it is called magnetic transmission.

Generally speaking, there is little difference between feature films and TV series, because many movies are often broadcast on TV stations, and viewers watch movies through TV receivers just like watching TV series. There are many similarities between them, but few differences. The similarities between them are as follows: first, they are both visual plastic arts; Second, they are all comprehensive arts; Third, they all need special equipment to produce, distribute and show (play); Four, there are writers, producers, publishers, directors, actors, staff and other creative collectives. Fifth, everyone needs a lot of investment to buy scripts and hire cast members. The difference between them lies in: First, the production equipment is different. The traditional film production is film camera, but the appearance of digital film in recent years makes the production equipment of the two become similar. For example, digital cameras are also adopted by digital movies, which is the inevitable result of the development of science and technology. Today, it is difficult to strictly distinguish between digital film production equipment and TV drama production equipment. Second, there is a difference between movies and TV series that will be maintained, that is, the rhythm is different and the density is different. The length of a film feature film, the standard time is 90 minutes (there are episodes, there are episodes), so the rhythm of the film must be compact. A movie consists of hundreds to thousands of shots, each shot ranges from a few seconds to tens of seconds, and the worst shot is only one or two seconds, which makes montage frequently used in movies, but TV plays are different. People sit in front of the TV and watch, and switching shots too frequently can easily cause visual fatigue. Therefore, the lens of TV series is generally longer than that of movies. Generally speaking, film photography is rarely used in TV dramas, such as pushing, pulling, shaking, rising, falling, following and so on. The standard time of TV series is 40 to 45 minutes per episode, with commercial breaks in the middle. Then watch. A TV series is as short as 20 episodes and as long as several hundred episodes. You can play for ten days to several months. Movies are different. Traditional movies are shown in cinemas, and people are unlikely to go to the cinema to watch a movie for that long every day. Nowadays, movies have developed from traditional movies to TV movies, digital movies, online movies and mobile phone movies. Due to the development of contemporary digital cinema, hundreds of digital cinemas have been developed in cities all over China. It seems that digital movies and online movies are the trend of film development. In addition, the cost of digital movies is much lower than that of traditional movies, so SARFT lists digital movies as a sunrise industry.
