The difference between drama performance and TV drama performance

The difference between drama performance and TV drama performance requires actors to create vivid, flesh-and-blood characters and make them have aesthetic value. When shaping the image, the actor is required to "incarnate as a role", that is, the actor takes himself as the carrier, turns himself into a role in the script, shows another personality and becomes another role. Dramatists usually shape their roles according to the sequence of time and plot development, and strive to make the development of characters coherent, hierarchical, ups and downs, and harmonious and unified. The production process of TV drama is different from that of drama, so TV performance is not as continuous as drama performance in creation. In the TV performance, due to the limitations of time, place, climate, economic conditions and other factors, the shooting is not completely in the order of the story. For example, people who are in the same place 50 years ago and 50 years later often arrange to shoot at the same time. Although it happened a few minutes later in the play, it may take some time to shoot because the scene is in different places. In TV shooting, the longest scene or shot is only 10 minutes, and the shortest is even tens of seconds. But the shooting time may often take several hours or even days. Before shooting each shot, you should set the plane position and light distribution, and prepare all the technical requirements to ensure the success of shooting before starting shooting. But as soon as the camera is turned on, the actor should be able to enter the role immediately and perform the scene for dozens of seconds or minutes vividly, and it should be appropriate and just right. Sometimes you may have to wait many times before taking the same shot repeatedly. This feature in the process of TV drama production makes it impossible for actors to continue to create, so TV drama actors must perform in a short and independent time unit, unlike drama performances, which can continue to shape their roles within a specified time. Television performance, like drama performance, is an art of "making things real". Television performance and creation are always carried out under the conditions of fiction and hypothesis, and actors must be able to turn this fiction into credible truth. Actors are obviously colleagues, but under hypothetical circumstances, they may become father and son, brothers, sisters, husband and wife, monarch and minister, enemies, lovers and so on. The fictional stories of life and death, right and wrong, kindness and resentment all need actors to shape them into artistic reality. Although TV series can be shot in real environment more in the process of shooting, it can't be completely true. For example, even if shooting a war scene in a real environment, you can't use live ammunition; Scenes in the rain are often done with sprinklers. Moreover, the shooting of TV series can't completely leave the fake scenery in the studio, especially some indoor series.

The difference of aesthetic consciousness between drama performance and TV performance: Different works of art naturally have their own distinct aesthetic characteristics. In drama performance, actors pursue the beauty of stage performance, while in TV performance, actors pursue the beauty of lens in screen modeling. When a dramatic actor performs on the stage, considering the distance from the audience and the audience's appreciation requirements, it is inevitable that there will be appropriate exaggeration or even distortion in voice, language, body and expression, such as tongue twister and slow motion, which need to be completed by himself. The full and appropriate use of these characteristics constitutes the stage beauty of the dramatic actor's performance. In the shooting of TV series, the camera breaks through the closed stage and the audience's fixed perspective, and can shoot the actors' performances from all angles. It can not only put the actor in a very far background, but also take close-ups of some parts of the actor, such as face, eyes, hands and feet. Because the camera honestly records everything in front of the camera, it will mercilessly expose the defects and let all the false things take in everything in a glance. On the other hand, cameras can also create scams. For example, you can choose the appropriate orientation and angle to beautify or uglify the people and things being photographed; Using the different properties of optical lens and the chemical properties of film emulsion, the object can be deformed; The normal walking or running of an actor can be changed into fast motion or slow motion after being processed. Therefore, TV actors should adapt to the unique creative function of the camera, master the special requirements of performing in front of the camera, shape the image that meets the aesthetic requirements of TV, and make their performances show a kind of "camera beauty" in the image modeling.
