Practically speaking, the artistic maturing of the cinema was the single-handed achievement of David W. Griffith(1875-1948). Before Griffith, photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage. From the beginning of his career as a director, however, Griffith, because of his love of Victorian painting, employed composition. He conceived of the camera image as having a foreground and a rear ground, as well as the middle distance preferred by most directors. By 1910, he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting and extreme long shots to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance. His appreciation of the camera’s possibilities produced novel dramatic effects. By splitting an event into fragment and recording each from the most suitable camera position, he could significantly vary the emphasis form camera shot to camera shot.
Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing. By juxtaposing images and varying the speed and rhythm of their presentation, he could control the dramatic intensity of the events as the story progressed. Despite the reluctance of his producers, who feared that the public would not be able to follow such a story, Griffith persisted and experimented as well with other elements which have become standard ever since.
Besides developing the cinema’s language, Griffith immensely broadened its range and treatment of subjects. His early movies included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also such novelties as adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatment of social issues. As his success mounted, his ambitions grew. When he made a new movie in 1991, he insisted that a subject of importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel. One of his movies reached the unprecedented length of four reels, or one hour’s running time. Griffith’s introduction of the American-made multi-reel picture began an immense revolution.
It can be inferred form the passage that before 1910 the normal running time of a film was______.
选项
A、15 minutes or less
B、between 30 and 45 minutes
C、between 15 and 30 minutes
D、one hour or more
答案
A
解析
根据文章内容可知,格里菲斯1911年改编电影《伊诺克·阿登》时认为如此重要的一个电影题材不可能采用当时一贯采用的一集录完的处理方法。格里菲斯首创的美式多集电影掀起了一场巨大革命。两年后,一部精心制作的历史哲学题材的电影《Judith of Bethulea》达到了史无前例的长度:四集,一个小时。所以,1910年以前的电影长度应该在15分钟以内。据此判断,答案是A。
