English to Latvian: Excerpt from Closely Watched Films by Marilyn Fabe
Source text - English How do films work?
How do they tell a story?
How do they move us and make us think? This book argues that shot-by-shot analysis is the best way for film students to learn about and appreciate the filmmaker’s
art.
Having taught film studies for many years, I have learned that viewers
trained in close analysis of single film sequences are better able to see
and appreciate the rich visual and aural complexity of the film medium.
Close analysis unlocks the secrets of how film images, combined with
sound, can have such a profound effect on our minds and emotions.
Through detailed examinations of passages from classic and near-classic
films, I hope to provide nonspecialist readers with the analytic tools
and background in film theory that will help them see more in every film
they watch. As their knowledge of the vast possibilities of the film medium
thus increases, so will their enthusiasm for the films they already love.
The book focuses on exemplary works of fourteen film directors whose
careers, put together, span the history of the narrative film, beginning
with D.W. Griffith and ending with Mike Figgis.
Rather than discussing
many films in a general way, I discuss a few films in detail, singling out
particular sequences from each that either best illustrate what is special
or significant about its director’s style or help to illuminate a significant
theoretical or aesthetic concern.
I begin with a study of directors who worked before synchronized sound came to the screen, focusing in chapters 1 through 3 on exemplary films by D.W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, F.W. Murnau, and Charles Chaplin.
Because silent-era filmmakers did
not have the option of using the spoken word to express their ideas, they
had to convey their ideas through pictures. As a result, contemporary directors
are still inspired by the visual richness and emotional intensity of
their films.
Translation - Latvian Kā darbojas kino?
Kā top tā vēstījums?
Kā tas mūs aizkustina un liek domāt? Šajā grāmatā tiek pārstāvēts uzskats, ka analizējot kadru pa kadram, kino studenti vislabāk var izprast un novērtēt režisora darbu.
Daudzus gadus lasot lekcijas par kino, esmu sapratusi, ka tie, kuri ir apguvuši šo kino kadru analīzes metodi, daudz labāk spēj ieraudzīt un izprast kino mēdija vizuālo un skaņas komplicētību.
Rūpīga filmu analīze atklāj to, kā kino attēls kopā ar skaņu spēj dziļi ietekmēt mūs gan intelektuālā, gan emocionālā līmenī.
Skrupulozi aplūkojot fragmentus no kino klasikas un līdzvērtīgām filmām, esmu iecerējusi kino amatieriem sniegt vajadzīgos analīzes rīkus un teorētisko zināšanu fonu, lai tie spētu katrā aplūkojamajā filmā saskatīt, ko vairāk un sajustu, kā zināšanu pieaugums par kino medija plašajām iespējām vairo prieku arī par tām filmām, kuras jau ir mīļāko kinodarbu vidū.
Grāmatā tiek pievērsta uzmanība četrpadsmit režisoru filmām, kuras aptver naratīvā kino vēsturi, sākot ar D.V. Grifita darbiem un beidzot ar Maiku Fidžisu.
Tā vietā, lai vispārīgi aplūkotu daudzas filmas, esmu izvēlējusies detalizēti pievērsties dažām un atsevišķi izcelt tos fragmentus, kuri vislabāk ilustrē tikai šim režisoram raksturīgu stila iezīmi, vai palīdz izprast kādu teorētisku un estētisku apsvērumu.
Es iesākšu savu darbu, pievēršoties režisoriem, kuri darbojās laikā pirms kino attēla un skaņas sinhronizēšanas. No pirmās līdz trešajai nodaļai aplūkoti tiks D.V. Grifits, Sergejs Eizenšteins, F.V. Murnavs un Čarlzs Čaplins.
Ņemot vērā to, ka mēmā kino ēras režisoriem nebija iespējas sakāmo artikulēt verbāli, viņi bija spiesti izteikt savas idejas caur attēlu, tāpēc mūsdienu režisorus joprojām ietekmē viņu filmās izmantotā vizuālās izteiksmes bagātība un emocionālā intensitāte
