What is a performance?

Performance, in terms of copyright law, refers to the public reproduction of works by means of sound, expression and action directly or with the help of technical equipment, such as playing music, performing scripts and reciting poems.

Film performance is the art of actors playing roles in front of the camera and performing the plot. Film performance and drama performance belong to the category of performing arts and have the same basic laws. Film performance inherits many principles and methods suitable for film performance in drama performance, however, it is different from drama performance.

Drama actors perform on the stage and communicate directly with the audience. The actor's performance is the image finally accepted by the audience. However, the performance of film actors is indirectly communicated with the audience through the screen, and the performance of actors in front of the camera is not the last image that the audience feels.

The final image on the screen can only be achieved by the artistic treatment of photography and the artistic re-creation of montage by the director. In particular, the documentary, synthesis, space-time view, montage and unique production technology of film art have brought various characteristics to film performance, which not only requires film performance to be true, natural and life-oriented, but also requires actors to have a sense of lens and adapt to discontinuous creation.

Extended data:

The oldest theory about the origin of performing arts began with ancient Greek philosophers. This theory holds that imitation is the innate nature and instinct of human beings, and art originated from human imitation of nature. In the eyes of ancient Greek philosophers, all art is the product of imitation.

Aristotle thought: "The object of artistic imitation is the real world. Art not only reflects the appearance of things, but also reflects the internal laws and essence of things. Artistic creation relies on the ability to imitate, which is the nature and instinct that people have since childhood. "

After the ancient Greek philosophers, Leonardo da Vinci, the French enlightenment thinker Diderot and the Russian writer Chernyshevski all inherited and developed this theory to varying degrees. This theory still has great influence until the end of 19.
