Bela Balazs Early Film Theory Visible Man and The Spirit of Film Introduction: In the early 20th century, film theory was still in its infancy, and few individuals had dedicated their careers to exploring the intricacies of this new medium. One such pioneer was Bela Balazs, a Hungarian-born film critic, theorist, and director who made significant contributions to the field with his works "Visible Man" (1924) and "The Spirit of Film" (1930). For the first time, these two seminal texts are now available in full English translation, offering readers a glimpse into the mind of a visionary thinker who, alongside contemporaries like Arnheim, Kracauer, and Benjamin, shaped the critical discourse surrounding film during the "Golden Age" of the Weimar silents. This article will delve into the plot of these works, highlighting their relevance to modern knowledge development and the importance of understanding the technological evolution of film technology. Visible Man: In "Visible Man Balazs examines the close-up shot, a technique that was relatively new at the time and one that he believed held immense power in conveying emotion and depth on screen. He argues that the close-up allows the audience to connect with the character on a more intimate level, as it captures subtle facial expressions and emotions that might be lost in wider shots.
Bela Balazs Early Film Theory Visible Man and The Spirit of Film Introduction: In the early 20th century, film theory was still at an infaness, and немногие люди посвятили свою карьеру изучению тонкостей этого нового средства. Одним из таких пионеров был Бела Балаж, кинокритик, теоретик и режиссер венгерского происхождения, который внес значительный вклад в эту область своими работами «Видимый человек» (1924) и «Дух кино» (1930). Впервые эти два основополагающих текста теперь доступны в полном английском переводе, предлагая читателям заглянуть в разум мыслителя-визионера, который наряду с современниками, такими как Арнхейм, Кракауэр и Беньямин, сформировал критический дискурс вокруг фильма во время «золотого века» веймарских молчунов. Эта статья углубится в сюжет этих работ, подчеркнув их актуальность для современного развития знаний и важность понимания технологической эволюции кинотехники. В «Видимом человеке» Балаж рассматривает крупный план, технику, которая была относительно новой в то время и которая, по его мнению, обладала огромной силой в передаче эмоций и глубины на экране. Он утверждает, что крупный план позволяет зрителям общаться с персонажем на более интимном уровне, так как он фиксирует тонкую мимику и эмоции, которые могут быть потеряны в более широких кадрах.
Bela Balazs Early Film Theory Visible Man and The Spirit of Film Introduction : In the early 20th century, film theory was still at an infaness, et peu de gens ont consacré leur carrière à explorer les subtilités de ce nouveau moyen. L'un de ces pionniers était Bela Balage, critique de cinéma, théoricien et réalisateur d'origine hongroise, qui a beaucoup contribué à ce domaine avec ses œuvres « L'homme visible » (1924) et « L'esprit du cinéma » (1930). Pour la première fois, ces deux textes fondateurs sont maintenant disponibles en traduction anglaise complète, invitant les lecteurs à regarder dans l'esprit du penseur visionnaire qui, avec des contemporains comme Arnheim, Cracauer et Benyamin, a formé un discours critique autour du film pendant l'âge d'or des silencieux de Weimar. Cet article va approfondir l'histoire de ces œuvres, en soulignant leur pertinence pour le développement moderne des connaissances et l'importance de comprendre l'évolution technologique des techniques cinématographiques. Dans « L'Homme visible », Balage examine un gros plan, une technique relativement nouvelle à l'époque et qui, selon lui, avait une grande force dans la transmission des émotions et de la profondeur à l'écran. Il affirme que le gros plan permet au public de communiquer avec le personnage à un niveau plus intime, car il enregistre des expressions faciales et des émotions subtiles qui peuvent être perdues dans des images plus larges.

Este artículo profundizará en la trama de estas obras, destacando su relevancia para el desarrollo contemporáneo del conocimiento y la importancia de comprender la evolución tecnológica de la técnica cinematográfica. En «hombre visible», Balage contempla un primer plano, una técnica que era relativamente nueva en la época y que, en su opinión, tenía una enorme fuerza en la transmisión de emociones y profundidad en la pantalla. Afirma que un primer plano permite a los espectadores comunicarse con el personaje a un nivel más íntimo, ya que registra expresiones faciales sutiles y emociones que pueden perderse en tomas más amplias.

Sostiene che il grande piano permette agli spettatori di comunicare con il personaggio a un livello più intimo, in quanto registra la mimetica sottile e le emozioni che possono essere perse in immagini più ampie.
Bela Balazs Frühe Filmtheorie chtbarer Mann und der Geist des Films Einleitung: Im frühen 20. Jahrhundert war die Filmtheorie noch an einer Unwissenheit, und nur wenige Menschen widmeten ihre Karriere der Erforschung der Feinheiten dieses neuen Mittels. Einer dieser Pioniere war Bela Balázs, ein in Ungarn geborener Filmkritiker, Theoretiker und Regisseur, der mit seinen Werken „Der sichtbare Mann“ (1924) und „Der Geist des Kinos“ (1930) maßgeblich dazu beigetragen hat. Erstmals liegen diese beiden grundlegenden Texte nun in vollständiger englischer Übersetzung vor und bieten den sern einen Einblick in den Geist des visionären Denkers, der zusammen mit Zeitgenossen wie Arnheim, Krakauer und Benjamin den kritischen Diskurs um den Film während des „goldenen Zeitalters“ der Weimarer Stillen prägte. Dieser Artikel wird die Handlung dieser Arbeiten vertiefen und ihre Relevanz für die moderne Wissensentwicklung und die Bedeutung des Verständnisses der technologischen Entwicklung der Filmtechnik hervorheben. In „The Visible Man“ untersucht Balazs die Nahaufnahme, eine Technik, die zu dieser Zeit relativ neu war und von der er glaubte, dass sie eine enorme Kraft hatte, Emotionen und Tiefe auf dem Bildschirm zu vermitteln. Er behauptet, dass die Nahaufnahme es den Zuschauern ermöglicht, mit dem Charakter auf einer intimeren Ebene zu kommunizieren, da sie subtile Gesichtsausdrücke und Emotionen einfängt, die in breiteren Rahmen verloren gehen können.

Bela Balazs Early Film Theory Visible Man and The Spirit of Film Introduction (Görünür Adam ve Filmin Ruhu): 20. yüzyılın başlarında, film teorisi hala bir çocukluk dönemindeydi ve çok az insan kariyerini bu yeni aracın inceliklerini incelemeye adamıştır. Bu öncülerden biri, Macaristan doğumlu bir film eleştirmeni, teorisyen ve film yapımcısı olan Béla Balázs'dı ve "Görünür Adam" (1924) ve "nemanın Ruhu" (1930) adlı eserleriyle bu alana önemli katkılarda bulundu. İlk kez, bu iki seminal metin şimdi tam İngilizce çeviride mevcut ve okuyuculara Arnheim, Krakauer ve Benjamin gibi çağdaşlarla birlikte Weimar susturucularının "altın çağı" sırasında filmin etrafındaki eleştirel söylemi şekillendiren vizyoner düşünürün zihnine bir bakış sunuyor. Bu makale, bu çalışmaların konusunu inceleyecek, bilginin modern gelişimi ile ilgilerini ve film teknolojisinin teknolojik evrimini anlamanın önemini vurgulayacaktır. "Görünür Adam'da Balazs, o zamanlar nispeten yeni olan ve ekranda duygu ve derinliği iletmede muazzam bir güce sahip olduğunu düşündüğü bir teknik olan yakın çekimi ele alıyor. Yakın çekimin, izleyicilerin karakterle daha samimi bir düzeyde iletişim kurmasına izin verdiğini, çünkü daha geniş çekimlerde kaybolabilecek ince yüz ifadeleri ve duyguları yakaladığını iddia ediyor.
Bela Balazs Early Film Theory Man Visible and The Spirit of Film Introduction: في أوائل القرن العشرين، كانت نظرية الفيلم لا تزال في طفولتها، وقليل من الناس كرسوا حياتهم المهنية لدراسة تعقيدات هذه الأداة الجديدة. كان أحد هؤلاء الرائدين هو بيلا بالاز، الناقد السينمائي المجري المولد والمنظّر والمخرج السينمائي، الذي قدم مساهمات كبيرة في هذا المجال من خلال أعماله «الرجل المرئي» (1924) و «روح السينما» (1930). لأول مرة، يتوفر هذان النصان الأساسيان الآن بترجمة إنجليزية كاملة، مما يوفر للقراء لمحة عن عقل المفكر صاحب الرؤية الذي قام، جنبًا إلى جنب مع معاصرين مثل أرنهايم وكراكوير وبنجامين، بتشكيل الخطاب النقدي حول الفيلم خلال «العصر الذهبي» لكاتم صوت فايمار. سوف تتعمق هذه المقالة في حبكة هذه الأعمال، مع التأكيد على أهميتها للتطور الحديث للمعرفة وأهمية فهم التطور التكنولوجي لتكنولوجيا الأفلام. في فيلم The Visible Man، يعتبر Balazs لقطة مقربة، وهي تقنية كانت جديدة نسبيًا في ذلك الوقت وشعر أن لها قوة هائلة في نقل المشاعر والعمق على الشاشة. يدعي أن اللقطة المقربة تسمح للمشاهدين بالتواصل مع الشخصية على مستوى أكثر حميمية، لأنها تلتقط تعابير الوجه والعواطف الدقيقة التي يمكن أن تضيع في لقطات أوسع.
