About this Quote

Sergei Eisenstein's quote speaks with the distinctions in between painting and cinema. In painting, the type is created from abstract components such as line and color. In cinema, nevertheless, the product concreteness of the image within the frame provides the greatest problem in control. This is due to the fact that the image is currently concrete and concrete, and it is more difficult to manipulate than abstract components. Eisenstein is recommending that the control of the image within the frame is the most challenging part of developing a movie. He is also highlighting the distinctions in between painting and movie theater, and how the type of each art kind is produced differently. Painting is developed from abstract elements, while cinema is developed from concrete images. This quote talks to the challenges of producing a film, and how the adjustment of the image within the frame is the most hard part.
