By answering this question, one discovers how historically cinema shifted from the spectacular to the narrative display.


As Kristin Thompson wrote in The Classical Hollywood Cinema “ early cinema grants the picture audience with the same characteristic as that of plays”, resulting in an over whole impression of “visual flatness” according to Noël Burch in La Lucarne de l’infini.


This impression in conveyed by five elements: vertical lighting, a fix lens, its frontal and horizontal set-up, the use of a painted canvas and a scenography of the tableau vivant.


Although this blog would like to offer a possible answer to that puzzling fact through images, but the black box remains a black box; mystery prevails.
